1 just sw1tched from g1ucophage to regu1ar metform1n for th1s reason. Metform1n 1s renowned for caus1ng stomach cramps and 1oose movements, 1t does tend to 1mprove though, 1've been on them for years now but 1n the ear1y days suffered those s1de effects, don't so much now.
The mod1f1ed re1ease (g1ucophage) 1s supposed to cause 1ess of these prob1ems than regu1ar metform1n, but that may not be true post-rny, don't know how our changed p1umb1ng wou1d affect th1s.

I'm not actually on Glucophage, but on Metformin AbZ 850 mg tablet - don't know if that's modified release or not. I've been saying Glucophage because that's the more well-known name, but to be accurate, that's not what I'm on. Of course, I'm getting this in Frankfurt, Germany as well, so there's much more on the box and insert I can't read.
