[QUOTE="cugila, post: 68402, member: 15325"] Hi HLW and UK REDHEAD. I think there is some confusion here between Metformin and Metformin SR or Modified Release Tablets ? As I understand it ukredhead is on Met SR/MR ? If that is the case she is on the Max Dose of 2000mg once daily. [color=#BF0000]This must be taken in one dose with evening meal ! It can be split between two meals - only on Dr's instructions ![/color] [color=#BF0000]Extract from prescribing information: Dose Initially 500 mg once daily, increased every 10–15 days, max. 2 g once daily with evening meal; if control not achieved, use 1 g twice daily with meals, and if control still not achieved change to standard-release tablets[/color] ( Normal Metformin which has different dosing instuctions. ) If you are having any problems with medication, do not self adjust. See your HCP and discuss with them first ! Hope this helps ? Ken. :D [/QUOTE]
