Hai.u hav not specified the name of the tabs, if it is , metformin250 or500, and u r anit obese not to worry about the side effects. Any ways anti diabetic or hypoglycemic drugs have tendency to bring down the sugar levels. Pls keepit checked. If u have sny symptoms like giddiness, nausea, vomitting, headache, generalised weakness, sometimes fits pls visit an er or ur physician. Pls be careful next time with the names as well as the expiry dates . don't worry
