Glucophage Retard 850mg Metformin Tablets, Pack of 30's

Glucophage Retard 850mg Tablets contain the active ingredient metformin, which is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes. Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, helping to lower blood sugar levels. The "Retard" formulation means that the tablet is extended-release, allowing for a slower release of the medication over time, which can help reduce side effects like gastrointestinal discomfort. Typically, Glucophage Retard is taken once or twice a day with meals to help minimize stomach upset. It's important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and monitor blood sugar levels regularly. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort, but these are often temporary. It is crucial to stay in contact with a healthcare provider while using this medication to ensure proper blood sugar management and to avoid complications.
