Metformin ER (extended-release) is an oral diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar levels. Metformin ER is used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The 'ER' in its name indicates it is an extended-release formulation, allowing for once-daily dosing.

How is this medication used?

Take metformin ER exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily with an evening meal. Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor may occasionally adjust your dose to ensure you get the best results.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of metformin ER include nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Although rare, metformin can cause a serious condition known as lactic acidosis, particularly if you have kidney or liver issues, dehydration, or severe infection.

What are the potential interactions?

Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, as metformin ER can interact with many drugs including diuretics, steroids, heart or blood pressure medications, and other diabetes medicines. Alcohol can also increase the risk of lactic acidosis when used with metformin.
