Just an FYI
I take 1000mg metformin ER with breakfast and 1000mg metformin ER at bed time.
So if that is any indication, you can take them at diffrent times.
When I first started I took 850mg metformin ER at bed time and then up the dose to 1600mg metformin ER and still took them at bed time. (Dr. recommended splitting them up though)
The point of the ER is to keep a specific level in your system at all times, and it is recommended to take it every 12 hours so that the level stays constant in your system.
