GLUCOPHAGE XR

After taken this medication 500mg mayb after an hour or so I tends to get this burning headache,I was reading some of the replies to this medication (metformin) and I not sure if that is what I'm experiencing the hotness+headaches,I also notice when I have taken 1000 which my dr.wants me to take it it drops it too low. ## Hi, Helen! Sorry about the headaches you've been experiencing. How are you feeling today?
