[QUOTE="cugila, post: 143265, member: 15325"] [b]Re: Another Metformin question.[/b] Metformin, as with any other drug [u]should be taken as prescribed by your GP[/u]. NOT, as directed by the Pharmacist in this case. You should NEVER take more than two tabs at one time unless specifically told to do so by your GP/Consultant. To do that is way out of line with the current 2010 BNF59 prescribing guidelines. The way you are presently taking them is the correct way, even if they are the SR/MR versions. They are designed to cover a 24 hr period and will not be as effective pharmacologically but will probably be very effective in other ways !! Don't stray too far from a loo ! :shock: If you are confused check again with the GP....... Ken [/QUOTE]
