Why Switch From Glucophage?
Switching from Glucophage to Glucophage XR can help to make your daily routine less complicated and make it easier for you to stick with your medication. Plus, clinical studies have shown that the blood sugar lowering effect of Glucophage XR, taken once daily, is comparable to the original Glucophage.
Glucophage XR is an extended-release formulation of Glucophage; this means that unlike Glucophage, Glucophage XR is designed to be taken once daily. By switching from Glucophage to Glucophage XR, you may cut down on the number of times a day that you must take this type 2 diabetes medication.

Why should you talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about new Glucophage XR?
* Glucophage XR is a once-daily dose of Glucophage® (metformin hydrochloride tablets). When diet and exercise are not enough, and medication is needed, Glucophage XR offers most type 2 diabetes patients convenient and effective blood sugar control.

* Glucophage XR is from the makers of Glucophage, the number one prescribed diabetes pill.
