It is possible to overdose on metformin hydrochloride, although it is relatively uncommon. Overdose symptoms may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), lactic acidosis (a buildup of lactic acid in the blood), and gastrointestinal problems. Metformin hydrochloride is typically taken orally by swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or the medication's label. The dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment will depend on your specific condition and medical history, and these instructions should be strictly adhered to. In some cases, extended-release (ER) versions of metformin are available, which are formulated to slowly release the drug into your system over time. These tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed, chewed, or cut. It is important to note that metformin should be taken with food or shortly after a meal to help minimize side effects like gastrointestinal upset.
