Regular met vs. extended release I'm soooo confused.
I have lean PCOS with normal fasting glucose levels. I am trying to conceive.
Last month, I met with one RE (Dr. Zouves in Foster City) who prescribed metformin ER 1000 mg once a day.
Then last week, I met with a second RE (Dr. Zeringue in Davis) who said that he's seen regular met work better. He wrote me an RX for regular metformin 850 mg/twice a day.
Was anyone else told this by their doctor? I'm willing to try the regular met, but I'm a little scared about the side effect. On ER I just had a headache for a week or two and I have some constipation.
Thoughts? Advice? Thanks! |
