today is the last day for taking 500mg
tomorrow to start 1000mg, but on the label, it just says to take 2 500mg aday, but no idea if to take as one dose or 2 times aday
the pharmacy and surgery are now closed, so can,t ask them
 
just a query as i couldn,t find a heading for this
when i looked at recent posts, where my photo is, theres two of me but not off anyone elses
 
The only clear advice I was ever given was that Metformin must be taken with meals. I suppose that could be two separate meals if it helps.
 
it doesn,t say slow releace, so will take it twice aday, thank you
 
My GP didn't say anything but I thought it was sensible to space my 2 tablets out during the day, so I take one with breakfast and the other with my evening meal. Appears to work for me.
