Can I stop taking metformin?
I started taking glycomet 500 mg to reduce weight. But I am having side effects like constipation, frequent urination, heartburn, acidity etc. Can I stop taking it ? I had it only for 9 days. I don't have blood sugar. Please advise. Will there be any problem in discontinuing the medicine?
