Is Metformin Dangerous? From: Sana (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 9 Sep 2003 03:26:45 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous: "Are there any alternatives to Metformin?"

I was diagnosed in May and I have seen 2 endocrinologists since. One told me that I am a good candidate for Metformin, and the other has said to me: "If you were my sister, I would not give you this medication. You would be much better off on spironolactone and exercise, and we just don't know enough about this medication." Now I'm confused, My PCOS symptoms are wildly out of control (weight, hair, skin, haven't had a period naturally since 1996). My question is, does anyone know if Metformin is truly a safe drug? When did this drug come out? What kind of tests have been done on it? When a doctor tells you they wouldn't give it to their family member, it scares you, and I'm trying to do research on my own about this drug to make my own decision. Any help would be wonderful. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING PART OF THIS WONDERFUL FORUM, NOW I DON'T FEEL SO ALONE! :) Next message: anonymous: "Are there any alternatives to Metformin?"
