Glucovance - Overview

Glucovance is a medication sometimes prescribed to improve glycemic control in people with diabetes.

What Is Glucovance?

Glucovance is a combination of two drugs - glyburide and metformin (Glucophage). In conjunction with diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes, Glucovance medication is sometimes prescribed to patients who have diabetes mellitus (type 2). Glucovance works by synergistically combining the actions of two active drugs - one that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and another that improves glucose tolerance and lowers glucose absorption and production. In many patients, the combination of these two drugs leads to a combined effect of better glucose control in people with chronically high levels. Like similar medications, Glucovance is meant to be used as part of a larger plan focused around lifestyle changes such as improved diet and exercise.

Glucovance - Dosage and Price

Some medical providers will start patients needing Glucovance medication on Glucovance 1.25 mg/250 mg once daily with meals. From there, the Glucovance dosing can be titrated to the health needs of the patient and the response to treatment. Ultimately, the starting Glucovance dose prescribed depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Following oral administration, both active ingredients in Glucovance have demonstrated a half-life of under 10 hours. The active drugs in Glucovance are excreted in both the bile and the urine. While branded Glucovance is moderately expensive, generic Glucovance is considered affordable, costing approximately 15 cents per Glucovance 5mg / 500mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Glucovance coupons may be available online or through the manufacturer. Some insurance plans may also cover costs associated with a Glucovance medication prescription.

Can I Buy Glucovance Online?
