Usage

Glucophage (Metformin) is a prescription medication used with a proper diet and exercise program and with other medications for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults and kids over 10 years old. Metformin belongs to class of drugs called biguanides. This medication works by helping to control blood-sugar levels. It decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from your food and the amount of glucose made by your liver. It is for the treatment of type 2 diabetes only and is not indicated for type 1 diabetes. It may be used as part of an overall treatment program which may include insulin products as well as changes to diet and exercise. Diabetes is more common in adults over age 40, and those who are overweight. You may help prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs and sexual function problems by controlling high blood sugar. Our customers may also purchase other diabetes medications such as Janumet Canada.
