Glucophage (Metformin)

Glucophage Information:

Glucophage (generic name: Metformin) is a new drug which is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The generic drug Metformin is an oral diabetes medication. It works by helping to control blood sugar levels. It helps to regulate the blood sugar levels of diabetics, and works by regulating the levels of insulin produced in the body after eating. Glucophage is prescribed for type 2 diabetes only, as it is not effective in type 1 diabetes. Glucophage is commonly used in conjunction with other diabetes medications such as insulin as part of a treatment program. Patients with diabetes commonly experience symptoms such as blurred vision, cuts/sores which take a long time to heal, itchy skin, yeast infections, leg pain, dry mouth and excessive thirst. Diabetes can be diagnosed by a simple blood test, and if you are diagnosed your doctor will discuss the most effective treatment for your particular condition.
