GLUCOPHAGE500MG50TAB

Glucophage 500mg is an oral antihyperglycemic medication containing metformin hydrochloride. It is widely prescribed as a first-line treatment for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in overweight patients when dietary management and exercise alone have failed. It works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose, and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. It helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of long-term diabetic complications.
