A member asked:
My dr prescribed me ex release metformin 500mg and says to take 2 pills at once but that upsets my stomach, can i take 1 in am and 1 in pm?

Metformin: If you are not taking metformin for anything but diabetes you don't really need any. If you have diabetes you can take 500 mg twice a day. You should check your blood sugar on alternate mornings and evenings.
