Why doesn't my metformin dissolve in my stomach?

Metformin is designed to dissolve in the intestinal tract rather than the stomach, which allows for better absorption. Its formulation includes extended-release versions that are designed to gradually release the medication over time. If you're experiencing issues with the medication, it could be due to your stomach's pH, food intake, or other gastrointestinal factors. If you have concerns about its effectiveness, consult your healthcare provider.
