A member asked:
What should i do if i accidentally overdosed on metformin? i took 1,000 mg instead of 500 mg.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overdose: You should be fine as doses up to 2500 mg daily are safe to use. You may need to change the way you take your pills as to use safety tools ( pillbox, software, etc) in order to prevent similar events in the future.
