Glucovance 1000/5mg xsat
Glucovance 1000/5mg (Sat) is a fixed-dose combination tablet containing metformin 1000mg + glibenclamide 5mg, specially formulated for the effective management of type 2 diabetes in adults. Widely prescribed across Nigeria when diet, exercise, and single medicine are no longer enough to control blood sugar, it helps lower HbA1c, reduces fasting and post-meal glucose spikes, and protects against diabetes complications.
Glucovance 1000/5mg, manufactured by Sateco Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Sat), combines two proven oral anti-diabetic agents in one convenient tablet: metformin (which reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity) and glibenclamide (a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin). Endocrinologists and general physicians in Nigeria love it because it gives stronger blood sugar control than either medicine alone, especially in patients who need higher doses but want fewer tablets. It is a trusted second-line choice that helps many Nigerians achieve target sugar levels and stay energetic.
- Powerful dual-action control of fasting and after-meal blood sugar
- Helps achieve better HbA1c and reduces risk of heart, kidney, and eye complications
- Convenient once- or twice-daily dosing with meals
- Affordable and widely available in clinics and pharmacies nationwide
Glucovance 1000/5mg is a prescription-only medicine for type 2 diabetes only. Take exactly as directed by your doctor, usually with or just after food to reduce stomach upset. Regular blood sugar monitoring and HbA1c tests are essential. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience unusual tiredness, muscle pain, breathing difficulty, or stomach upset with vomiting (possible lactic acidosis). Not suitable for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe kidney/liver disease, or during acute illness. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Keep all clinic appointments and never adjust dose on your own.
