Fun fact - my order of it arrived from the pharmacy today and it was the wrong med - always double check before you take a new med :)

I am expecting the correct stuff (pure metformin as opposed to metformin+glimepiride combo) to come tomorrow and will post to let people know about side effects etc.

One caution for anyone interested: DO NOT consume alcohol with metformin, the combo can be lethal - which is the exact opposite of the whole point.

Since I don't consume alcohol anyway it's not a big deal for me, but a lot of people like a drink.
