Description
Glucare XR 500Mg 30Tab contains metformin hydrochloride in an extended-release (XR) formulation, with each tablet containing 500mg. It is an oral antidiabetic medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The extended-release formulation is designed to release metformin gradually over a longer period, which can help to improve tolerability and allow for once-daily dosing.
Metformin works primarily by reducing glucose production in the liver and by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, thereby improving glucose uptake and utilization by peripheral tissues. The XR formulation of Glucare can help to minimize common gastrointestinal side effects associated with immediate-release metformin, such as nausea and diarrhea, and may offer better convenience with its once-daily administration, typically taken with the evening meal.
Glucare XR 500Mg is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, especially when:
- Dietary management and exercise alone do not result in adequate glycemic control.
- Once-daily dosing of metformin is preferred for improved adherence.
- To help reduce gastrointestinal side effects associated with immediate-release metformin.
- It can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or with insulin.
Important Information: Glucare XR is a prescription medication and should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. The usual starting dose is one 500mg tablet once daily with the evening meal. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your blood glucose levels and tolerability, up to a maximum daily dose. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, cut, or chew it. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have, especially kidney or liver problems, as these can affect the safe use of metformin. Be aware of the risk of a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis, and seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms such as severe weakness, increasing sleepiness, slow or irregular heartbeat, muscle pain, trouble breathing, stomach pain with nausea and vomiting, or feeling cold, especially if you have kidney or liver problems. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Glucare XR.
