Ratio Metformin 500 Mg

Updated

Have two refills -180 tablets and they smell really bad -like dead fish.
Returned to Pharmacy.
Why the smell and how much of the risk for me?
Thank you.

Hello, Neb! How are you?

There is no risk to you and there is nothing wrong with those tablets. Metformin actually does smell horrible, it's just that some manufacturers use a coating on them to prevent the odor.

This is an oral antidiabetic medication that's most commonly used to help lower and control blood sugar levels. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, diarrhea and hypoglycemia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
