it depend on how many Metformin you were a prescribed a day.

Best to ask the pharmacy and or your GP, but by the sounds of it you have to take it in the morning with meals if it is on the pharmacy label.

There seem to be varying opinions - right from the beginning I was told to take it at night - no mention of with food. I take 2 x 1000mg tablets just before bed and it seems to work for me - never had any stomach issues at all.
I have been told by posters on here that it's not the correct way to take it, but GP and Diabetic Clinic have both confirmed it's fine - so I figure ...... if it ain't broken.............
