Description


Overview: Glucophage XR 750mg utilizes Metformin Hydrochloride in an extended-release delivery system to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It functions by reducing hepatic glucose production, decreasing intestinal glucose absorption, and enhancing insulin sensitivity through increased peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.

Dosage & Administration

  • Dosage: 1 tablet (750mg) per administration, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Frequency: Once daily.
  • Method: Swallow whole; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet to maintain extended-release integrity. Administer with 200ml of water.
  • Timing: Consume with the evening meal to minimize gastrointestinal side effects and align with nocturnal glucose regulation.
  • Titration: Maximum recommended dose is 2000mg per day (not exceeding 2 tablets of the 1000mg strength or equivalent).

Safety & Storage

  • Storage: Store at controlled room temperature below 30°C. Protect from moisture and light.
