The maximum recommended total daily dose is 40 mg. Take Glucotrol 30 minutes before a meal. If you take Glucotrol once daily, take it 30 minutes before breakfast. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
