Glucophage XR 1000 mg is an oral anti-diabetic medicine containing a higher dose of the active ingredient metformin hydrochloride. It is particularly suitable for adult patients whose blood glucose levels cannot be adequately controlled through diet and exercise alone, and who require a higher dose for maintenance treatment.
 
Its extended-release formulation is designed to provide steady drug release. It may help maintain stable blood glucose control by reducing glucose production in the liver, decreasing glucose absorption in the intestines, and improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.
