Is it possible to take Glucophage XR at 22:00?

I have prescribed Glucophage XL in the morning 500 hours after a meal and in the evening 1000 but I take it around 22.00 if this is the right time or should I take earlier

Yes, you can use prolonged-release metformin (e.g. Glucophage XR) at 22:00. The drug should be taken with or after an evening meal. In addition, it is important that the drug is used regularly. Please note that in addition to the use of metformin, the basis of prediabetes / diabetes / insulin resistance therapy is a permanent change in eating habits and regular physical activity. Below I leave a link to the video that may interest you. Metformin may reduce serum vitamin B12 levels. The risk of low vitamin B12 levels increases with increased metformin dose, duration of treatment and/or in patients with risk factors known to cause vitamin B12 deficiency (e.g. use of PPIs, e.g. pantoprazole, omeprazole). In such a situation, it is worth doing laboratory tests and considering supplementation. Vitamin B12 is available in prescription or over-the-counter preparations. I attach links to websites where you can compare the prices of over-the-counter supplements with vitamin B12 in online pharmacies and order the preparation with collection at the pharmacy or home delivery, e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/8495/olimp-b12-forte-bio-complex-kapsulki/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/49995/molekin-b12-tabletki-powlekane/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/23254/diab12-kapsulki/apteki

Zgodnie z Charakterystyką Produktu Leczniczego Euthyrox N 88:
"Pojedynczą dawkę dobową należy przyjmować rano, na czczo (co najmniej pół godziny przedśniadaniem), najlepiej z niewielką ilością płynu, np. z połową szklanki wody."

Producent leku nie opisuje, więc aby znaczenie miało, czy odstęp między przyjęciem leku a posiłkiem będzie dłuższy czy równy 30 min.

Mam jeszcze pytanie co do euthyroksu 88 czy jeżeli ja go przyjmuję wcześnie rano w godz. między 4 a 5,30 czy jest to prawidłowo bo słyszałam że lepiej się wchłania jak jest dłuższy czas do posiłku
