Glucophage XR 1000mg Tablets 60's – Extended-Release Metformin for Blood Sugar Control in Type 2 Diabetes
Glucophage XR 1000mg Tablets 60's offer an extended-release formulation of Metformin, making them an ideal choice for those needing continuous control over their type 2 diabetes. The extended-release formula ensures that Metformin is slowly absorbed over time, providing steady blood sugar control with fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to the standard-release formulation.
As one of the leading medications in diabetes treatment, Metformin helps lower blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing the production of glucose by the liver. Glucophage XR 1000mg is often prescribed when daily control is needed, making it convenient for long-term diabetes management.
