Metformin tablets are 850mg. in Spain and you can get them over the counter @ €1.48 per box. There is no problem taking 850mg vs 500mg as I am prescribed same and my doctor says it is not a problem.  Nestares in Fuengirola near bus station can supply as I got them there several times. If you pharmacy have no English then as for Metformina Sandoz 850.  Best of Luck.
