Metformin and Glucophage are the same thing, one is just the actual name
of the drug and the other is the brand name as it was explained to me.
Did you maybe switch from plain Glucophage to Glucophage XR? Lots of
women have reported better results with the XR since it releases slower.
Or maybe we're talking about some other met entirely and I'm confused?!
If so, ignore me!!! ?:)
