Glucophage Information
Uses
Glucophage is a biguanide-type medication that is
used along with a diet and exercise program to control
high blood sugar in diabetic patients. Glucophage
works by helping restore your body's proper response
to the insulin you naturally produce, and by decreasing
the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your
stomach/intestines absorb. Controlling high blood sugar
helps prevent heart disease, strokes, kidney disease,
blindness, and circulation problems, as well as sexual
function problems (impotence).
How To Use
Follow the directions for using Glucophage provided
by your doctor. TAKE GLUCOPHAGE with food. DRINK
PLENTY OF FLUIDS while taking Glucophage. CONTINUE
TO TAKE GLUCOPHAGE even if you feel well. Do not
miss any doses. Use this medication regularly in order
to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember,
use it at the same time(s) each day. Glucophage may
come with a patient information leaflet. Read it carefully.
Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist any questions
that you may have about Glucophage. STORE THE U.S.
PRODUCT at room temperature between 68 and 77 degrees
F (20 and 25 degrees C), away from light and moisture.
Brief storage from 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees
C) is permitted. Do not store in the bathroom. STORE
THE CANADIAN PRODUCT between 59 and 86 degrees F (15
and 30 degrees C). Keep all medicines away from children
and pets. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF GLUCOPHAGE, take
it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your
next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your
regular dosing schedule. DO NOT take 2 doses at once.
Side Effects
Also see WARNING. SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during
treatment, include metallic taste in mouth, nausea,
stomach upset, and diarrhea. If they continue or are
bothersome, check with your doctor. If stomach symptoms
recur later (after you are on the same dose for several
days or weeks), tell your doctor immediately. A late
recurrence of stomach symptoms may be due to a serious
medical condition (lactic acidosis). Glucophage usually
does not cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), but this
effect may occur if you do not consume enough calories
(from food, juices, fruit, etc.). The symptoms include
chills, cold sweat, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking,
rapid heartbeat, weakness, headache, fainting, tingling
of the hands or feet, or hunger. It is a good habit
to carry glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar.
If you are in a situation where you don't have these
reliable forms of glucose, eat a quick source of sugar
such as table sugar, honey, or candy, or drink a glass
of orange juice or non-diet soda to quickly raise your
blood sugar level. Tell your doctor immediately about
the reaction. To help prevent hypoglycemia, eat meals
on a regular schedule and do not skip meals. Symptoms
of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) include thirst,
increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing,
rapid breathing, or fruity breath odor. If these symptoms
occur, tell your doctor immediately. Your medication
dosage may need to be increased. IF YOU EXPERIENCE difficulty
breathing; tightness of chest; swelling of eyelids,
face or lips; or if you develop a rash or hives, tell
your doctor immediately. Do not take any more doses
of Glucophage unless your doctor tells you to do
so. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Precautions
FOLLOW THE DIETARY PLAN provided by your doctor. KEEP
ALL DOCTOR AND LABORATORY APPOINTMENTS (e.g., liver
and kidney function tests, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated
hemoglobin, complete blood counts) while you are using
Glucophage. Regularly check your blood or urine sugar
as directed by your doctor. BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL
OR DENTAL TREATMENTS, EMERGENCY CARE, LABORATORY TESTS,
OR SURGERY, tell the doctor or dentist that you are
using Glucophage. During times of stress such as
fever, infection, injury or surgery it may be more difficult
to control your blood sugar. Consult your doctor, as
a change in your medication may be required. LIMIT ALCOHOL
INTAKE while using Glucophage. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING
ANY NEW MEDICINE, either prescription or over-the-counter,
check with your doctor or pharmacist. Caution should
be used in the elderly since they may be more sensitive
to the effects of this drug. FOR WOMEN: Glucophage
can cause changes in the menstrual cycle (promote ovulation)
in women with certain fertility problems, therefore
increasing the risk of becoming pregnant. Consult your
doctor or pharmacist about the use of reliable birth
control while using Glucophage. IF YOU PLAN ON BECOMING
PREGNANT, discuss with your doctor the benefits and
risks of using Glucophage during pregnancy. IT IS
UNKNOWN IF GLUCOPHAGE IS EXCRETED in breast milk.
DO NOT BREAST-FEED while taking Glucophage.
Drug Interactions
Drug interactions can result in unwanted side effects
or prevent a medicine from doing its job. Use our drug
interaction checker to find out if your medicines interact
with each other.
Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison
control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms
of overdose may include rapid or trouble breathing,
severe drowsiness, and slow or irregular heartbeat
Notes
Glucophage is not a substitute for proper diet and
regular exercise. It is recommended you attend a diabetes
education program to better understand diabetes, prevention
of complications, and all the important aspects of its
treatment. These include meals/diet, exercise, weight
loss, personal hygiene, medicine and blood glucose monitoring,
and the need for regular eye, foot, and medical exams.
Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. DO NOT
SHARE GLUCOPHAGE with others for whom it was not
prescribed. KEEP GLUCOPHAGE out of the reach of children
and pets. IF USING GLUCOPHAGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME, obtain refills before your supply runs out.
