Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Metformin can cause acute gastritis which is causing palpitations and other symptoms.
So you should take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
After pantoprazole, you can take Metformin.
If you follow this, Metformin won't cause gastritis and other symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
