Hello, Karen! How are you?

The HCL just designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, so it's all Metformin HCL, however, the XL designates that one as being a time release formulation of the medication.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, diarrhea and hypoglycemia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
