Metformin
- Information from the RxList. From the patient information at
the site: "Glucophage and Glucophage xr are used to treat
type 2 diabetes. This is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus. People with type 2 diabetes are not able to make enough
insulin or respond normally to the insulin their bodies make.
When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This
can lead to serious medical problems including kidney damage,
amputations, and blindness. Diabetes is also closely linked to
heart disease. The main goal of treating diabetes is to lower
your blood sugar to a normal level."
