Take Metformin 500 mg twice daily, as directed. This means you’ll take one 500 mg tablet in the morning and another in the evening.
Timing is key: Ideally, take your Metformin with meals to minimize gastrointestinal upset. This helps reduce the chance of nausea or diarrhea.
Swallowing the tablets: Take your Metformin with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets.
Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Storage: Store your Metformin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
