Glucophage Xr 1000Mg 30Tab

Glucophage Xr is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as blood sugar reducers and works to improve control over blood sugar levels. It is primarily used for patients who cannot control their sugar levels through diet and exercise alone.

Glucophage Xr contains the active ingredient Metformin Hydrochloride, which works by reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. This helps improve glucose utilization by cells, leading to lower blood sugar levels. It also has additional benefits such as weight reduction and improved blood lipid levels, making it an ideal choice for many patients.
