My Rating

Metformin made me very sick for severl months, then found out that because my lactic acid levels are always high due to a mitochondrial mutation, I shouldn't have been taking this medication at all. Pay attention the the medication warnings and side effects.

Pros

Very inexpensive and prescribed frequently because it works for most people. Preferred oral treatment for Diabetes.

Cons

Just because it's cheap, beware of the adverse reactions.
