I’m 74yo and have been on Metformin for 20 years. I’ve learned to avoid nausea I must limit dosage to 500mg extended release daily with a meal. If I take it on an empty stomach or take more than 500mg, I experience nausea. Good luck finding what works for you.

I take two 500mg tablets of Metformin ER with Breakfast and two with dinner. No problem for me. However, within each meal, I take the two tablets about 15 minutes apart, so that they don’t hit my stomach all at once.
