Is Increasing The Dose Of Bigmet Safe?
I used to take bigmet 850mg.i took for few months. After I stopped taking, i am gaining weight again though i am exercising and eating small meals. should i start taking bigmet again? and if i increase my dose to 1000mg, will it be okay? As it was on the internet to increase dose after 6 or more months. Can you please suggest me?
