Question
What are the usual dosage ranges of
metformin
for adults?
Answer
The doses that are recommended are between 500 and 2500 mg/day. As the manufacturer of Glucophage states:
Your doctor will tell you how many GLUCOPHAGE tablets to take and how
often. This should also be printed on the label of your prescription.
You will probably be started on a low dose of GLUCOPHAGE and your
dosage will be increased gradually until your blood sugar is controlled.
