Glucophage SR (XR) 750mg 56 Tablets Pack

Glucophage SR 750mg (Extended Release) - 56 Tablets Pack Glucophage SR 750mg is an oral medication containing Metformin Hydrochloride, used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Manufactured by Merck, this formulation uses a sustained-release (SR) system—often branded as Glucophage XR in Nigeria—to ensure the medication is released slowly into your system. This slow-release mechanism is particularly beneficial as it reduces the risk of gastrointestinal side effects like nausea or stomach upset, which are common with immediate-release Metformin. Why use Glucophage SR 750mg?

Effective Blood Sugar Control: Helps your body respond better to its own insulin and reduces the amount of sugar your liver produces. Gentle on the Stomach: The extended-release technology means fewer stomach issues. PCOS Management: Frequently prescribed in Nigeria for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to improve insulin sensitivity and support hormonal balance. Once-Daily Dosing: Typically taken once a day, making it easier to stick to your treatment plan.

How to use Glucophage SR 750mg For the best results, take your tablet once daily with your evening meal. It is crucial to swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as this would destroy the sustained-release mechanism and could cause too much medication to be released at once. Safety and Side Effects While Glucophage SR is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience a metallic taste in the mouth or mild nausea initially. These symptoms usually improve as your body adjusts. If you have kidney or liver concerns, please consult your doctor before use. You can also chat with a Meddylab pharmacist for professional guidance on your medication. Storage: Keep in a dry place at or below 30°C.
