• GLUCOPHAGE is a white, oval, convex film coated tablet.

• GLUCOPHAGE is a group of drugs called oral antidiabetics (biguanides). Such drugs are used to treat diabetes (diabetes).

• insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and circulates into the circulation, allowing your body to take glucose in the blood. Your body uses glucose to produce energy or stores it for future use. If you have diabetes, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or your body cannot use the insulin produced regularly. This situation causes a high level of glucose in your blood. GLUCOPHAGE helps to reduce the glucose level in your blood to the normal level as much as possible.
