Is metformin safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding? There are no adequate studies in pregnant women. Most experts agree that insulin is the best treatment for pregnant women with diabetes. Metformin is excreted into breast milk and can therefore be transferred to the nursing infant. Nursing mothers should not use metformin. Metformin is available as Tablets: 500, 850, and 1000 mg Tablets (extended release): 500, 750, and 1000 mg. Solution: 100 mg/ ml Metformin should be stored at room temperature between 20 C to 25 C (68 F to 77 F). Metormin is available in generic versions of immediate release and extended release formulations. You need a prescription from your doctor to obtain metformin. Brand names available for metformin in the US include: Glucophage Glucophage XR Glumetza Fortamet Riomet
