Glucophage Information

Glucophage XR (metformin HCl extended-release tablets), together with diet and exercise is used to treat type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes when diet and exercise are not enough. People with type 2 diabetes are not able to make enough insulin and they simply do not respond normally to the insulin that their bodies make. This inability to make enough insulin or to properly utilize it causes sugar (glucose) to build up in the blood. Over time, high levels of sugar in the blood can lead to serious medical problems, including kidney disease, heart disease, and eye disease.

Glucophage XR (metformin HCl extended-release tablets) works to control your blood sugar by:

  • helping your body to respond more efficiently to the insulin it makes naturally
  • decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes
  • decreasing the amount of sugar your intestines absorb
