Glukonrich

Glukonrich is a trade name for a pharmaceutical product. It is primarily known as a brand of metformin hydrochloride, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class of drugs and works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving the sensitivity of the body's cells to insulin. This helps to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.

Glukonrich is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise. It is not a cure for diabetes but rather a management tool to control hyperglycemia. The dosage and frequency of Glukonrich are determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual's medical condition and response to treatment. Common side effects can include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. In rare cases, a serious side effect called lactic acidosis can occur.

Patients taking Glukonrich are advised to inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking, as well as any pre-existing medical conditions, particularly kidney or liver disease, and a history of heart failure or lung problems. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and kidney function is often recommended during treatment with metformin-based medications like Glukonrich. The development and availability of Glukonrich, like other metformin formulations, have contributed to the widespread management of type 2 diabetes globally.
