What is it?
Glucophage/Metomin is used to help manage Type 2 diabetes and keep the patient�s blood glucose withing their target range. Glucophage/Metomin helps the body produce less glucose from the liver. It does not cause the body to make more insulin, therefore, it rarely causes low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) when used alone. Hypoglycemia may occur when Glucophage/Metomin is taken in combination with insulin or other diabetes pills. Glucophage/Metomin has been found to lower blood fat levels and possibly contribute to minor weight loss.

How do you take it?
Take with meals, once, twice or up to three times a day. Be sure to check with your health care provider about how often and how much to take.

What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are diarrhoea, nausea, stomach upset and symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as lightheadedness, dizziness, shakiness, or hunger may also occur. Serious side effects are very rare and occur mostly in people whose kidneys or liver are not working normally. The most serious side effect is lactic acidosis. It may be life threatening. Your health care provider will check your kidney and liver function to determine if you are at risk.

What precautions should be taken?
Do not take this medication if you have kidney problems, are over 80 yrs (unless your kidneys are tested), are taking medication for heart failure, are seriously dehydrated, have a severe infection, or if you have or have had liver disease. Do not take this medicine if you drink alcohol excessively, and also if you are trying to get pregnant. Consult your doctor for more information.
