Metformin? What to do? Doctor placed a person I know on 500 MG of metformin and has been on it for about a week. Now the doc. wants to increase the daily dosage to 1000 MG. Are their different drug manufactures producing this product or basically one company?

Metformin has been linked to dementia ... I lost my mom to dementia last year ... saw the misery she went thru ...I’m not going out that way

I think there are multiple companies....docs usually start on a low dose and then increase it....don’t be surprised if the drug dose is upped again to 1000mg twice daily, extended release.
