Indications: Glucophage XR (metformin hydrochloride er) is indicated for the management of high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise to help control blood sugar levels. Glucophage XR works by improving your body’s response to its naturally produced insulin, reducing the sugar production by the liver, and limiting the absorption of sugar from the intestines. Glucophage XR is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition where there is an increased level of ketones in the blood or urine. Although Glucophage XR and regular Glucophage both contain the same active ingredient, Glucophage XR is designed to work longer in the body, providing more sustained blood sugar control. It does not increase the amount of insulin your body produces. 

Ingredients: Glucophage XR contains metformin hydrochloride as the active ingredient. Some inactive ingredients include sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate. 

Directions: Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly. Take it with meals to help minimize any stomach upset. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush, cut, or chew the tablets. You may notice a soft mass in your stool that looks like Glucophage XR tablets. This is normal and will not affect how the medication controls your blood sugar. When your body is under stress, such as during fever, trauma, infection, or surgery, you may need a different amount of diabetes medication. Contact your healthcare provider right away if any of these situations occur. Your healthcare provider will monitor your kidney function with blood tests before and during your treatment with Glucophage XR. They will also track your blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1C regularly. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for managing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If low blood sugar is an issue for you, talk to your provider. Check your blood sugar as directed by your healthcare provider. Continue to follow your prescribed diet and exercise plan while taking Glucophage XR. If you miss a dose, take the next dose as prescribed. Do not take an extra dose the following day. In case of an overdose, contact your healthcare provider, local Poison Control Center, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room immediately. 

Contraindications: Do not take Glucophage XR if you have kidney problems or are allergic to metformin hydrochloride or any other ingredients in Glucophage XR. You should also stop taking Glucophage XR before getting an injection of dye for an x-ray or having surgery where you can’t eat or drink much. Ask your doctor when to stop and restart Glucophage XR. 

 Before taking Glucophage XR, tell your healthcare provider if you: 

• have type 1 diabetes. Glucophage XR should not be used to treat people with type 1 diabetes. 
• have a history or risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of certain acids, known as ketones, in the blood or urine). Glucophage XR should not be used for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. 
• have kidney problems. 
• have liver problems. 
• have heart problems, including congestive heart failure. 
• are older than 80 years. If you are over 80 years old, you should not take Glucophage XR unless your kidneys have been checked and they are normal. 
• drink alcohol very often or drink a lot of alcohol in short-term “binge” drinking. 
• are taking insulin. 
• have any other medical conditions. 
• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Glucophage XR will harm your unborn baby. If you are pregnant, talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to control your blood sugar while you are pregnant. 
• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if Glucophage XR passes into your breast milk. Talk with your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby while you take Glucophage XR. 

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine. Glucophage XR may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how Glucophage XR works. 

Side Effects: Glucophage XR can cause serious side effects, including lactic acidosis. If you experience symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as extreme weakness and fatigue, unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, excessive sleepiness or sleeping longer than usual, unexplained stomach issues like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, or feeling unusually cold, especially in your arms and legs, stop taking the medication and contact your healthcare provider immediately. The risk of lactic acidosis is higher in individuals with kidney or liver problems, congestive heart failure that requires medication, or those who consume a lot of alcohol. 

Drug Interactions: Diamox (Acetazolamide) | Tagamet (Cimetidine) | Tivicay (Dolutegravir) | Zymar (Gatifloxacin)

Glucophage XR should be stored at room temperature, between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), away from moisture and heat. Keep it in its original container and out of reach of children.
