How to Take It
  • Administration: Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break them, as this will destroy the sustained-release effect.
  • Timing: It is typically taken once daily with the evening meal. Taking it with food helps reduce common gastrointestinal side effects like nausea or stomach upset.
  • Standard Dosing: Treatments often start with a 500 mg dose once daily. A healthcare provider may gradually increase this based on blood sugar response, up to a maximum of 2,000 mg daily.
