Important Question about meds.....

[Guest guest]

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I take Metformin 1000 mg two

times daily. Tonight I went to dinner with friends and forgot to take it

before I left. It is almost ten o'clock now and I was wondering if I should

take it now and resume the normal schedule in the morning? I know I probably

shouldn't skip it but I am sure hoping that someone is up and will answer me.

Thanks so much!

The information that is on your prescription bottle (or the paper that came

with it) should explain what to do.

In many cases it will state to take it as soon as you remember, but not if

it's time for your next dose (not to double the dose)...

This is probably the type of question you should ask a pharmacist about.

It's really 'medical advice' and that is not what this group is about.

Hope that helps.
