Description
Glucophage is an oral medicine intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus. This medicine is not suitable for type 1 diabetes and should not be used to treat it. Glucophage helps control blood sugar levels and can be used alone or in combination with other drugs, such as insulin for instance. Glucophage is usually only a part of the treatment program that includes weight management, eating a healthier diet and exercising regularly. Every patient needs to know exactly what needs to be done in addition to taking Glucophage for the treatment to be successful and give the results expected.
Recommendations
Glucophage has to be taken exactly as prescribed, without exceeding the dose. Since Glucophage is not going to cure diabetes, it has to be taken regularly at the same intervals for the rest of your life, unless directed otherwise. Your initial dose of Glucophage may be changed occasionally for you to get the best results and control your blood sugar levels efficiently.
You will have to measure your blood sugar levels or have them measured for you throughout the period of your treatment. Your drug needs may change if you have to travel or are under a lot of stress. You should measure your blood sugar levels or have them measured for you more often in such situations to make sure the medicine is working and a dose adjustment is not required. You should avoid drinking alcohol in excess when taking Glucophage, as it can affect you blood sugar levels dangerously when combined with this medicine.
Precautions
Before starting the treatment, it's important to report to your doctor any other medical conditions that may in some way interfere with the efficiency of this medicine or your wellbeing. Your doctor will need to know if you have a history of heart disease or liver disease before you start taking Glucophage. Although Glucophage is not expected to cause any harm to an unborn baby, it's important to inform your doctor of this aspect in advance to see if any other drugs prescribed along with this antidiabetic medicine may.
Other drugs you are taking should also be discussed prior to starting Glucophage treatment, as some of them can raise your blood sugar levels when combined. The following ones are known to do that: diuretics, steroids, seizure medicines, thyroid medicine, blood pressure medication, medicine for colds or allergies and phenothiazines. However, there are many other drugs that can interact with Glucophage in some way, all of which have to be reported in advance.
