CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 INDICATIONS
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, particularly in
overweight patients, when dietary management
and exercise alone does not result in adequate glycaemic control.
Glucophage XR may be used as
monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents, or
with Insulin.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
MONOTHERAPY OF GLUCOPHAGE XR 500 MG, 750 AND 1000 MG
The usual starting dose is one tablet of Glucophage XR 500 mg once
daily.
After 10 to 15 days the dose should be adjusted on the basis of blood
glucose measurements. A slow
increase of dose may improve gastro-intestinal tolerability. The
maximum recommended dose is 2000 mg
XR once daily with the evening meal.
If glycaemic control is not achieved on 2000 mg once daily, Glucophage
XR 1000 mg twice daily should be
considered, with both doses being given with food. If glycaemic
control is still not achieved, patients may
be switched to Metformin tablets IR tablets to a maximum dose of 3000
mg daily.
In patients already treated with Metformin tablets, the starting dose
of Glucophage XR should be equivalent
to the daily dose of Metformin IR tablets. In patients treated with
Metformin at a dose above 2000 mg daily,
switching to Glucophage XR is not recommended.
If transfer from another oral antidiabetic agent is intended:
discontinue the other agent and initiate
Glucophage XR at the dose indicated above.
