What Causes Flatulence While On Metformin And Lisinopril?
I have been taking 2000 mg of Metformin, Lisinopril, Pravastatin, and Farxiga. I experience an excessive amount of flatulence. Is there anything I can do to limit this. I take probiotics and eat a serving of yogurt as well as a fiber supplement. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit as well. Can you help me?

Hello. Flatulence is a known issue with metformin. Trying an XR preparation and having the tablet with the major meal of the day will help. Regards
