Expired metformin may not necessarily harm you, but its efficacy could be reduced, meaning it might not effectively manage your blood sugar levels. Medications can change chemically over time, and while many remain safe for a short period after expiration, using expired drugs is generally not recommended. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for guidance if you have expired medication.

Is metformin good after expired date?

Metformin, like many medications, may lose potency after its expiration date, and its safety and effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. While some medications can still be effective for a short time after expiration, it's not advisable to take expired metformin without consulting a healthcare professional. Expired medications can also pose risks, including potential side effects or decreased efficacy. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist if you have expired medication.

Is metformin er the same as metformin hcl?

Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin HCl (hydrochloride) are not exactly the same. Metformin HCl is the active ingredient in both formulations, but Metformin ER is designed to release the medication slowly over time to help maintain consistent blood levels. This allows for once-daily dosing compared to immediate-release metformin, which is typically taken multiple times a day.
