Glucophage XR is available in tablet form and is typically taken once daily with the evening meal. Avoid crushing or chewing this medication as that could release the entire drug at once and up the chance of side effects. Additionally, splitting the tablets should only be done if they have a score line and are approved by your doctor or pharmacist. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing it.
Make sure to give your doctor and pharmacist complete information on all products you use, such as prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, and herbal products. To minimize your risk of side effects like an upset stomach, your doctor may direct you to begin with a low dose and gradually increase your dosage. Follow your doctor’s instructions accurately to avoid any adverse events.

The usual dosage for Glucophage XR (metformin ER) usually begins at 500 mg once a day alongside your evening meal. If necessary, your doctor may increase your dosage if it does not result in unpleasant side effects, with a maximum daily dose of 2,000 mg.
