Standard Glucophage tablets are expired two or three junkie a day and take your bg's just as concerned about GLUCOPHAGE . The recommended starting dose of GLUCOPHAGE is 500 mg orally twice a day or 850 mg once a day, given with meals. Increase the dose in increments of 500 mg weekly or 850 mg every 2 weeks on the basis of glycemic control and tolerability, up to a maximum dose of 2550 mg per day, given in divided doses. The recommended starting dose of GLUCOPHAGE for pediatric patients 10 years of age and older is 500 mg orally twice a day, given with meals.

The recommended starting dose of GLUCOPHAGE XR is 500 mg orally once daily with the evening meal. Increase the dose in increments of 500 mg weekly on the basis of glycemic control and tolerability, up to a maximum of 2000 mg once daily with the evening meal.

If higher doses are required, switch to GLUCOPHAGE at total daily doses up to 2550 mg administered in divided daily doses, as described above. Patients receiving GLUCOPHAGE may be switched to GLUCOPHAGE XR once daily at the same total daily dose, up to 2000 mg once daily.

Initiation of GLUCOPHAGE/GLUCOPHAGE XR in patients with an eGFR between 30 - 45 mL/minute/1.73 m2 is not recommended. Do not use more than the recommended dose of chlorpheniramine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. You may need a dose adjustment of your diabetic medications during and after treatment with estradiol.

Discontinue GLUCOPHAGE/GLUCOPHAGE XR at the time of, or prior to, an iodinated contrast imaging procedure in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; in patients with a history of liver disease, alcoholism, or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra-arterial iodinated contrast. In patients taking GLUCOPHAGE/GLUCOPHAGE XR whose eGFR later falls below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, assess the benefit risk of continuing therapy.

Using phenylpropanolamine with alcohol can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects such as increased heart rate, chest pain, or blood pressure changes. This could cause your blood sugar levels to get too low. Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of certain medications such as norgestimate.
