Glucophage XR (Metformin sustained release) Information

Glucophage XR, which contains the active ingredient metformin hydrochloride, is an oral extended-release medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It helps lower glucose levels by enhancing the body’s ability to use insulin effectively and by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Glucophage XR is taken once daily, and its sustained-release formulation provides smoother, more consistent blood levels throughout the day. It is commonly used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications to support long-term glucose management.

The mechanism of action of metformin involves decreasing hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis), improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, such as muscles, and reducing intestinal glucose absorption. These effects work together to lower fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels without stimulating insulin release, making metformin less likely to cause hypoglycemia when used alone. The extended-release formulation allows gradual drug release, which improves gastrointestinal tolerability compared with immediate-release metformin while maintaining effective glucose control.
