Hydrochloride.

PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION:
A 21.2 - Oral Hypoglycaemic.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:
Glucophage is a biguanide oral anti-hyperglycaemic agent. Its mode of action is thought to be multifactorial and
includes delayed uptake of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract, increased peripheral glucose utilisation mediated by
increased insulin sensitivity, and inhibition of increased hepatic and renal gluconeogenesis. No hypoglycaemia occurs
when Glucophage is used alone but can occur when given concomitantly with a sulphonylurea, insulin or alcohol.
INDICATIONS:
Non-insulin dependent diabetes when diet has failed and especially if the patient is overweight. Glucophage can be
given alone as initial therapy, or can be administered in combination with a sulphonylurea. In insulin-dependent
diabetes, Glucophage may be given as an adjuvant to patients whose symptoms are poorly controlled.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Sensitivity to metformin hydrochloride. Diabetic coma and ketoacidosis, impairment of renal function, chronic liver
disease, cardiac failure and recent myocardial infarction. History of, or states associ
