The Metformin prescribing information is a medical document. It lists, in clinical detail, every possible thing that could go wrong with your body. Diarrhea (53.2%). Lactic acidosis. Prompt hemodialysis recommended.
We performed this information as an earnest bubblegum pop banger. Completely sincere. Full sparkle treatment.
[Verse 1 — bright and perky]
Read the label carefully before you start
Some side effects may occur right from the heart
Abdominal discomfort, cough or hoarseness, hey!
Decreased appetite but that's okay!
Diarrhea, fast or shallow breathing too
Fever or some chills, muscle cramping through and through
Sleepiness and blurred vision, oh my gosh!
Anxiety and cold sweats — but you're hot!
[Pre-Chorus]
Check with your doctor immediately
If any of the following apply to me:
[Chorus — big bright girl-group harmonies]
Confusion! (oh no!)
Nightmares! (uh oh!)
Shakiness and slurred speech — all for YOU!
Seizures! (woo!)
Headaches! (yay!)
Behavior change similar to being DRUNK!
Side effects — may include — loving you!
[Verse 2 — bouncy and carefree]
Metallic taste and passing gas, no big deal
Bloated full of heartburn, but I like how I feel!
Joint pain, stuffy nose and discolored nails!
Flush-faced, racing heartbeat — love prevails!
[Pre-Chorus]
Dissolves in most cases on its own
Or you can call the number on the phone!
[Chorus]
Confusion! (oh no!)
Nightmares! (uh oh!)
Shakiness and slurred speech — all for YOU!
Seizures! (woo!)
Headaches! (yay!)
Behavior change similar to being DRUNK!
Side effects — may include — loving you!
[Bridge — whispered then exploding]
Prompt hemodialysis is recommended…
(But baaaaby — I think I'm in LOVE!)
[Outro — bubblegum fade with handclaps]
Side effects, side effects, side effects — you!
Side effects, side effects — may include loving you! ✨
