Glucophage XR uses a patented GelShield diffusion system that slowly releases metformin in the upper GI tract, giving smoother plasma levels and up to 50% reduction in nausea/diarrhoea vs regular metformin. Ideal for newly diagnosed patients, those who struggle with twice/thrice-daily dosing, or anyone needing higher doses (1500–2250mg/day) in a single tablet. Benefits: • Once-daily dosing (usually with evening meal) – better adherence • Significantly fewer GI side effects (bloating, diarrhoea) • Proven to reduce risk of heart attack & stroke in overweight diabetics • Can be used alone or combined with any other diabetes medicine (including insulin) • Weight-neutral & very low risk of hypoglycaemia • Cost-effective branded XR – much cheaper than newer DPP-4/SGLT2/GLP-1 drugs • 30-tablet pack perfect for monthly refill How to use: • Adults: usual starting dose 500–750mg once daily with evening meal • Increase by 500–750mg every 1–2 weeks; maximum 2000–2250mg once daily • Swallow whole – do not crush, chew or split (destroys extended-release mechanism) • Take with food to further reduce GI upset • Store below 25°C
