Recently, I was asked when is the best time of day to take metformin immediate release and extended release. Taking metformin immediate release with first and last meal of the day – 10 – 12 hours between doses is ideal. Taking metformin immediate release with food can decrease the stomach upset. Metformin extended release is best taken in the evening as it works overnight to prevent the excess release of glucose from the liver.
