Metformin is a commonly used oral hypoglycemic drug used to treat diabetes. Its side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea. Some people may experience bloating, loss of appetite, or dizziness. Long-term use may affect the absorption of vitamin B12, causing anemia or neurological problems. A very small number of users may develop severe lactic acidosis, in which case immediate medical attention is required. If you experience any discomfort, you should consult a doctor immediately.

Pregnant women should use metformin with caution. This drug belongs to the B pregnancy category and has been shown to cause no harm to the fetus in animal experiments, but its safety in human clinical trials is still unclear. During pregnancy, you should seek medical advice and use mefenamic acid as directed by your doctor. You should be especially careful during early and late pregnancy, as using this drug during this period may cause adverse effects on the fetus. Your doctor may recommend stopping or switching other prescribed medications to control your blood sugar levels.
When using mefenamic acid during pregnancy, blood sugar levels must be checked closely to ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus. If you experience any unusual symptoms or reactions, you should notify your doctor immediately and follow your doctor's advice to adjust the dosage of your medication. Remember to follow dietary advice and medication use guidelines during pregnancy to ensure a healthy and safe pregnancy.
