Why am I supposed to bear Metformin [glucophage] beside food?

My doctor prescribed 1000MG of Metformin a day, contained by 500MG tablets. She wants me to run them all at supper time next to food. I always forget, so I usually nick them right before I walk to bed. Is there a better benefit if I do appropriate them with food? Let me know! I am taking it for PCOS, and enjoy been on it for just about 2 weeks.

Answers:    There are 2 reasons why you should be taking Metformin next to food.

1. Food softens the blow of taking medication. You can imgaine, when the tablet hits your stomach it fizzles and disperses with the sharp in your stomach. Without food, tablets can violate the lining of your stomach, including the bitter pH etc.

2. Metformin is associated with Diabetes and its your insulin. Someone whose insulin secretion is working capably would be secreting the right amounts as they get through. You are risking a hperglycaemic attack by eating first, after taking your insulin.
Another good mode to ensure the best outcome when taking tablets is to take them beside milk. Drink some first, then the tablet, afterwards rinse with somemore. Milk lines the oesophogus and stomach and will protect your flesh from hardcore chemicals.
