Glucophage is produced by Martin Dow, which contains metformin Hydrochloride. It is an oral biguanide anti-diabetic agent, introduced in the 1950s.
It is being used to treat type 1 diabetes. The insulin hormone is produced by the pancreas, which takes glucose (sugar) from the blood. Your body needs glucose to produce energy and it also stores it for the future. Your pancreas does not make enough insulin if you have diabetes. This condition leads to a high level of glucose in your blood. This tablet helps to lower your blood glucose to as normal a level as possible. Glucophage also helps overweight adults to lower the risk of complications associated with diabetes. Metformin is also being used with insulin or chlorpropamide.
