Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Start with 600mg NAC twice daily. If you do not see any improvement double the dose after a week (1200mg twice daily).

Take Metformin 500mg once daily after meals during the first week. In the second week increase it to 500mg twice daily after meals. From the third week increase it to 500 mg thrice daily after meals. If it causes too much of stomach burning you can keep it at 500mg twice daily only.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
