I have to take 500mg, 3 times a day. I’m thinking of taking it twice a day, i.e 500 and 1000, as taking it 3 time a day is a pain.
I’ve poked around the internet and found that people were taking 1000mg in one dose without a problem.
Does anyone here take 1000mg in one go? Or how do you take it in general?
I take 1000mg in the AM and 1000mg in the PM - 2000mg all together.
1000mg is a good starting dose - 500mg in AM and 500mg in PM, its best to divide the doses twice usually.
I always divided my doses of Metformin (Glucophage)
This way you get the medication throughout the day evenly
I’ll probably just do that then, 500 in the morning and 1000 in the evening. I’ll continue taking 500 3 times a day for the first month until I’m sure everything’s ok.
Sounds like a good idea @everhopeful - good luck with it!
They do make extended release tablets. I take 1000mg, 2 500 mg ER tablets, at dinner time. You might want to talk to your doc about the ER version. Good luck.
