Description of Glucophage XR
Glucophage XR is an oral medication with the generic name Metformin. It belongs to a group of medicines known as hypoglycemic drugs. Glucophage XR is available in the form of an extended release tablet formulation. It is supplied in three dosage strengths- Glucophage XR 500mg, Glucophage XR 750mg Glucophage XR 850mg and Glucophage XR 1000mg. The drug is a prescription medication, so you need to consult your doctor before you buy Glucophage XR online.
Indications & Dosage of Glucophage XR
Glucophage XR is indicated in the treatment of high blood sugar levels caused by type 2 diabetes. The medication is only a part of the treatment. Diet and exercise regimen are other components of the treatment. Your doctor may also recommend other diabetic drugs along with Glucophage XR.
Metformin, the active ingredient in the medication, improves glucose tolerance by lowering postprandial plasma and basal glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces hepatic glucose production and decreases glucose absorption by the intestines. This helps improve insulin sensitivity and improves utilization of insulin by the body.
The dosage and strength of Glucophage XR will be decided by your doctor. You need to follow the instructions given by your doctor while taking the recommended dose. The recommended dose is generally taken after evening meals. Swallow the Glucophage XR tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.
