Make sure they don't give you normal medformen make sure it's medformen ex.
Medformen ex doesn't give you those types of problems.

For some of us taking Metformin for long enough results in loss of good 
bowel control.  That happened to me.  The blood sugar and A1c are and have 
been under good control for the last few years though.  One thing I want 
to warn anyone who ends up with this kind of loss is to find better pants 
than Salk Sani-Pants!  Those work while wearing but are too poorly 
constructed to survive many laundry cycles.  The waterproofing breaks and 
then the pants have to be trashed.  I have heard about P.U.L. pants and 
will be shopping for some this month since from what I've read are more 
durable for longer.

Hello, Jude,
These is now a Metformin composite suitable for people who have stomach 
and bowel problems with normal Metformin. Its name will change from 
place to place, so ask your doctor.

If you are looking for solid under-wear, try purchasing Healthdri underwear.
They launder very well and actually do last many cycles. I believe they say
at least approximately 200 washes, and I have had some pairs for up to four
or five years. I like them for traveling. Ms. Martin is correct--there are
several generic brands of Metformen which are supposed to be better for your
stomach. Check with your doctor.
