My dr. hadn't heard of it so she did some research and decided it was ok. The XR stands for extended release. I have read that it is meant to replace standard Glucophage. This way we won't have to be taking meds 3 or 4 times a day. I take mine at night before I go to bed. Dr. told me I could take it any time I want. Bedtime is when I remember it. Personally, I think it only comes in 500mg. I take two at the same time. Your dr. probably heard about it and thought it would be easier for you to take them all at once. As far as a I know there is no difference in the results of the drugs. -- Rochelle At Thu, 1 Aug 2002, Becky wrote: > >I started Glucophage 500 mg once a day with instructions to increase it >over a period of three weeks to a total of 3 pills, 1500 mg, morning, >noon and night.
