How to prevent diarrhea from taking an antibiotic?

I have to take Metformin because I have PCOS. I just started taking it for the first time once at dinner tonight. Now I have diarrhea. I know it’s a side effect and all, but is there anyway I can prevent it? I have school on Monday and I don’t know how to survive school without having to go to the bathroom a lot. Any suggestions on that? Also, how long does diarrhea usually last with Metformin?
Thanks!
Sorry! It’s not an antibiotic, I was wrong! Lol.

I don’t know how long it will last, but my daughters doctor recommended Florastor while she was taking medication. It is sold at most pharmacies and it is basically the good stuff found in yogurt that regulates your stomach. It really worked wonders for her and he cousins. Good luck!
Metformin isn’t an antibiotic.
pepto, or any other medicine of the like.
Metformin is not an antibotic. It is the generic form of Glucophage. It works by decreasing the amount of sugar that the liver produces and the intestines absorb. It also helps to make your body more sensitive to the insulin that you naturally produce. It treats insulin resistance which is the leading cause of PCOS. Drink plenty of water and if it doesn’t stop by Monday give your doctor’s office a call and speak to the nurse. They’ll be able to give you more info
