Adult dose

The typical initial dose is 500 mg of metformin extended-release tablet taken once daily with the evening meal. After one week, monitor blood sugar levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. The maximum dose is 2000 mg per day, and when increasing the dose, it should be done in increments of 500 mg weekly. It may be taken once daily with the evening meal, up to a maximum of 2000 mg. If blood sugar control is still difficult at the maximum of 2000 mg per day, consider 1000 mg taken twice daily.

This drug can rarely cause a serious side effect known as lactic acidosis, so if symptoms occur, notify medical personnel immediately. When used in conjunction with other diabetes medications, there is a risk of hypoglycemia, so caution is warranted. Patients with moderate or severe renal impairment or acute illness should not use this drug. Administration should be temporarily halted before and after surgeries, during severe infections, or in cases of dehydration, and should be resumed only after renal function has recovered. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should make careful judgments regarding the use of this drug and consult with their doctor if necessary. During the course of treatment with this drug, regular checks of renal function and blood sugar levels should be performed to detect any abnormalities. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects from this drug, so it is advisable to avoid drinking during treatment. This drug may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, altered taste, and vitamin B12 deficiency; thus, patients should inform their doctor if symptoms persist. This drug may interact with other medications, so it is essential to inform the medical personnel of any other medications being taken. Elderly patients may have reduced renal function, necessitating dosage adjustments and regular monitoring. This drug should be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing, and passing the tablet shell in the stool is normal.
