How Does Everyone Treat Stomach Cramps Caused By Their Medications?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am currently taking three different medications (metformin,levoxythyroxine, & jolivette) and the side affects are stomach pain or cramps. They come at different times of the day and can get pretty painful. I take an ibuprofen almost daily when they start. Is there something I can take to stop the cramps before they start or get too bad?

It may be the metformin - try the slow release ones and if that doesn't work consider trying a different insulin regulator like the glitazones.
