Carbophage XR 500 Tablet belongs to a class of diabetes medications known as biguanides. Carbophage XR 500 Tablet aids in the reduction of high blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disease that alters how our bodies handle glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not create enough insulin or the insulin produced is unable to accomplish its role in the body (insulin resistance). Because type 2 diabetes is more common in people in their forties and fifties, it is sometimes known as adult-onset diabetes.
