Glucophage is used to control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, usually alongside diet and exercise, by reducing the amount of glucose your liver produces and improving your body's response to insulin.
How to take it / Dosage
Taken with or just after meals to reduce stomach upset, at the dose and frequency set by your doctor - this is often started low and increased gradually. It's a long-term daily medicine for a chronic condition; take it consistently even when you feel well, as diabetes control depends on regular use.
Active ingredient
Metformin hydrochloride 500mg (Biguanide (oral antidiabetic)).
Side effects
Common side effects, especially when starting, include nausea, diarrhoea, stomach upset, and a metallic taste. These often improve after the first few weeks or with a slower dose increase.
Warnings & who should not take it
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or before having a contrast X-ray/CT scan or surgery, as metformin sometimes needs to be paused temporarily. Seek urgent medical attention for unusual muscle pain, breathing difficulty, or severe tiredness, which can (rarely) signal a serious complication.
