If the dose of Metformax SR is increased, it is most often recommended to take both tablets together in the evening to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects and improve tolerability of the drug.
Metformax SR 500, a metformin extended-release drug, is usually taken once a day with or immediately after an evening meal. The initial dose is one tablet per day, and after 10-15 days, your doctor may recommend that you increase the dose to two tablets per day.
However, if glycemic control requires it, the doctor may decide to divide the dose into two portions – in the morning and in the evening – always during meals. The most important thing is to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly monitor your blood glucose levels to adjust the dosage individually.
