If you miss a dose of Glumetza (metformin), take the missed tablet as soon as you realize you have missed it. Make sure you take your missed dose with some food. If you do not remember you missed it until it is time to take your next dose, skip the dose you missed. Do not take extra tablets or double up on doses. If you are concerned about missing a dose of Glumetza, talk to your doctor.
