I am on a business trip and have consumed all met tables brought from home. In this town I could only buy Glucophage (which is also Metformin) which is made by different company. Is there any different if I take other brand?

I got to tell you........ in my worldwide travels I have never found a problem whatever contry I was in or what brand. I would always stock up on it when I was in a country that did not require a scrip....... which is almost all of them except here. I'm sure there will be some to tell you they have seen a difference.......... and that might be true, just not with me.

Glucophage is the brand-name, originally patented metformin. Dr. Bernstein found that, when the patent on Glucophage ran out and generic metformin began replacing it, the generics did not work as well as the brand-name drug, for many of his patients.

Hi,
I have used every different brand name of Glucophage and have found no difference in effect.
