I took Metformin 500R at 11 AM.  Is it ok to take the second dose at 8PM?

Take it as directed by your physician.  

If you are ever in doubt you can always check with a pharmacist.

Absolutely, from, a toxicity standpoint. Many patients are on 1000 mg of metformin twice a day. On the other hand, if you are new to metformin, watch yourself if driving, and you might want to check your glucose levels an hour after the dose.
