Glucophage 1000mg – Blood Sugar Control for Type 2 Diabetes

Glucophage 1000mg helps manage type 2 diabetes by reducing the amount of sugar your body absorbs from food and lowering the amount of sugar produced by your liver. It also improves your body's response to insulin, helping keep your blood sugar within a healthy range. Glucophage is a prescription medicine and should only be taken under a doctor's advice.

Glucophage 1000mg Uses

Glucophage 1000mg is commonly used for:

1. Managing type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise
2. Improving the body's sensitivity to insulin
3. Lowering blood sugar levels produced by the liver
4. Supporting long-term blood sugar control as part of a diabetes management plan

Active Ingredient

Each Glucophage 1000mg tablet contains 1000mg of Metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide-class medication that works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in the body's tissues.

How to Use
