Have taken this brand for 2 years with no problems but last refill was told pharmacy can't get it anymore. Tried Teva and have stomach issues, anxiety and palpitations. Tried Solco and felt horrid. Is Sandoz not making met anymore?

Hello, JJ! How are you?
Apparently, there is a shortage of the raw ingredients required to manufactured Metformin, so some manufacturers have been unable to maintain and distribute a supply. The situation is expected to resolve, but there's no way of knowing for sure when it will occur.
Have you tried the name brand? You might want to ask your doctor about writing for it, so you can't be given a generic, at least while this issue continues.
The FDA classifies Metformin as being an oral antidiabetic medication that is most commonly used to help lower and control blood sugar. Typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence and hypoglycemia.
Is there anything else I can help with?
