Glucophage is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels.
Glucophage is one brand of metformin hydrochloride, a drug that may be prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels if you have type 2 diabetes.
Metformin is an antihyperglycemic agent that helps lower production and absorption of glucose, as well as reduce insulin resistance. It is typically used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to help manage diabetes.
Glucophage belongs to a class of drugs called biguanides, which are derived from the French lilac flower. The drug comes in immediate-release or extended-release oral tablets (Glucophage XR); other extended-release metformin brands include Fortamet and Glumetza.

Glucophage should be taken in the manner directed by your physician. Read all of the medication guides or instruction papers that come with your medicine, and make sure to follow all of the guidelines that are included on the prescription label. Your physician may decide to adjust your dosage every so often. Always follow the directions on the label while taking medication.
Unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, take Glucophage in conjunction with a meal. Only one dose of Glucophage XR should be taken each day, in the evening, with food. Always be sure to follow the advice of your doctor.
An extended-release tablet should not be chewed, crushed, or broken in any way. Take the pill with a full glass of water.
The shell that surrounds each Glucophage XR tablet is designed to prevent it from being absorbed or melted by the body. There is a possibility that you will poop out a piece of this shell. This is perfectly normal and does not in any way compromise the efficacy of the medication.
It's possible that you have low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, which can cause symptoms such as feeling extremely hungry, disoriented, irritated, confused, worried, or shaky. Consuming or drinking a source of sugar with a rapid onset of action is the quickest way to correct hypoglycemia (fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins, or non-diet soda).
In the event that you suffer severe hypoglycemia, your physician may give you a prescription for a glucagon injection kit. Make sure that your immediate family or other close friends are familiar with how to administer this injection in the event of an emergency.
Stress, sickness, surgery, physical activity, use of alcoholic beverages, and missing meals are all factors that might influence one's blood sugar levels. Before making any adjustments to your dosage or drug plan, check in with your primary care physician.
Glucophage is just one component of a comprehensive treatment program that may include involve changes to a patient's diet and exercise routine, as well as more frequent monitoring of blood sugar levels and further medical attention. Be sure to carefully adhere to your physician's recommendations.
Keep away from moisture, heat, and light while storing it at room temperature.
While you are on metformin, your physician may instruct you to take an increased dose of vitamin B12. Take only the quantity of vitamin B12 that was recommended by your healthcare provider.
