GLUCOPHAGE XR1000MG30TAB old

Glucophage XR 1000mg is an extended-release oral hypoglycemic medication containing metformin hydrochloride. It is designed to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The extended-release formulation allows for a gradual release of the active ingredient into the body, which often improves gastrointestinal tolerability compared to immediate-release metformin. It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. It is typically prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise program.
