Dosage Forms & Strengths

tablet

  • 100mg
  • 250mg

Dosage should be individualized based upon patient's response

Type 2 Diabetes

Administer 30 minutes before meal to improve absorption

Middle-aged stable diabetic

  • 250 mg/day PO initially; may increase or decrease PRN by 50-125 mg/day at 3- to 5-day intervals

Older patients

  • 100-125 mg/day PO initially; may increase or decrease PRN by 50-125 mg/day at 3- to 5-day intervals

Maintenance dose
