Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) is an extended-release version of metformin hydrochloride, a widely trusted medication in the biguanide class used to manage type 2 diabetes. It works by lowering the amount of sugar your liver produces, reducing how much your body absorbs from food, and improving your sensitivity to insulin. This helps control blood sugar levels more effectively, especially in adults who are managing their condition through lifestyle changes and medications.

Doctors frequently recommend Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) because it is well-studied, clinically proven, and offers stable, long-lasting glucose control with just once-daily dosing. Many patients prefer the extended-release form due to its smoother effect throughout the day and reduced chance of digestive discomfort compared to regular metformin.

General Indications

Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) is primarily used to manage high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By helping to regulate blood glucose, it reduces the risk of serious complications over time such as nerve damage, kidney issues, vision problems, and heart disease. It is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.


Patients who take Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) usually do so as part of a broader diabetes management plan. It's chosen for its ability to provide consistent control throughout the day while minimizing peak-and-trough blood sugar levels. In the real world, people across Singapore trust this medicationβ€”whether they’re newly diagnosed, managing insulin resistance, or maintaining sugar control alongside other treatments.


Many Singaporean customers buy Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) from reputable Malaysian online pharmacies due to competitive pricing, genuine product assurance, and cross-border convenience.

Dosage

The usual starting dose for adults is one Glucophage XR (Metformin) 500mg Tablet 15s (strip) daily, taken with an evening meal. Depending on your response and blood sugar levels, your doctor may gradually increase the dosage. Some individuals may require a higher daily dose spread over multiple tablets, but always under professional supervision.


It's important to understand that your specific dose will vary based on your health profile, kidney function, and treatment goals. Never self-adjust your dose without medical advice. Your doctor will monitor your condition regularly through blood tests and check-ins to ensure the dosage remains appropriate and safe over time.

How to take
