Hello, Gary! How are you?

The SA stands for sustained action, it's just another way to designating it as being a time released formulation of the medication.

The FDA classifies Metformin as being an oral antidiabetic medication and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea and hypoglycemia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
