Metformin

my 8 year old daughter has just recentenly started taking Metformin. I was wondering if it is normal for her to be so quiet? She normally is very not this quiet. I have had a hard time taking giving her her med as it is an oral solution and has a horrible taste. I have been putting it in her choc milk to get her to drink it. Any other suggestions? I also noticed if she doesnt get it right away she is very crabby and irritable

Your creative mind is your ticket to greatnesss. 

The first thing I would do is check with your daughter's doctor and explain to him/her exactly what is going on. Perhaps the dosage needs to be changed. Also mention how hard it is for her to take the medication, and ask for any suggestions. I am sure this is very common for 8 year olds. Best of luck.

does your 8 year old already have type 2 diabetes? i really do not think that glucophage has been tested on children for potential side effects. i will find out and let you know.
