Name: Glucophage 500 mg 10 Tablets
description: GLUCOPHAGE 500 MG TABLET is a generic antidiabetic drug that can control and reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Metformin is included in the Biguanide group of antidiabetic drugs, which works by inhibiting glucose production (gluconeogenesis) in the liver. This inhibition results in a delay in the absorption of glucose in the intestine, thereby reducing plasma glucose both basal and postprandial (after eating). This drug is used especially in patients who are overweight and have blood glucose levels that cannot be controlled adequately with diet and exercise alone. In adults, Glucophage can be used as monotherapy or in combination therapy with other oral antidiabetic drugs or with insulin. In children aged 10 years & adolescents, Glucophage is used as monotherapy or combination therapy with insulin. When using this medication, you must ACCORD TO THE DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS. Purchasing this drug requires education regarding the appropriate and safe use or consumption of the drug which will incur a fee.
