I have been taking diabetes medication for five years and am currently on Glycomet GP 2. I am experiencing gas problems; what medicine should I take for relief?

Asked by Male, 55 · 1 day ago

Glycomet GP 2 contains metformin, which is well-known for causing gastrointestinal side effects like gas and bloating. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter Simethicone, but please consult your doctor before starting any new medication. Do not alter or stop your diabetes treatment. To manage gas naturally, try eating smaller meals, avoiding carbonated drinks, and limiting gas-producing foods like lentils, cabbage, and onions. If your symptoms are severe, or accompanied by abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea, consult your prescribing doctor promptly, as they may need to adjust your dosage or switch your medication.
