difference between Glucophage and Glucophage XR?? My doctor first put me on Metformin and when I went back, he wrote me a perscription for Glucophage XR. I went to the pharmacist and give him the perscription. When I returned, he gave me metformin. I told him that I wanted what was on the perscription and he told me that he would have to order it and to come back the next day. Well, I went today and realized he gave me the regular Glucophage. I know Met and Gluc have the same ingredients, but I heard XR is time release and is taken once a day plus it stays in your body longer. Is that the only difference of the two? |
