well I just answered this question for somebody else, but in case it gets lost in the other posts, I'll tell you what I know 
Fortamet is similar to the time released versions of metformin, like Metformin ER. It is supposed to be easier on the tummy than regular met. The 500mg pill is nice and small and slick and easy to swallow. Fortamet brand has a higher copay for me so I switched to met ER generic.
You can call a pharmacy and ask about it if you want.
