Glumetza

Glumetza is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It contains the active ingredient metformin, which helps to control blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Glumetza is an extended-release tablet, meaning it works over a longer period of time compared to immediate-release formulations of metformin. It is typically taken once daily with food.
