[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 888728, member: 19121"] There is no difference in the dosage between metformin and sr metformin the only difference is the speed at which it is relaesed, SR just means slow release. The current maximum dose of metformin is 2000mg split 2 x 500mg with breakfast and 2 x 500mg with your evening meal, met should always be taken with food to minimise any unwanted stomach problems. Some people have been prescribed a higher doses in the past but that is no longer recommended by NICE. [/QUOTE]
