Is Glucophage the same as metformin?

Yes, as a name. Glucophage is a brand name listed as another name on this site's metformin profile, along with metformin HCl and dimethylbiguanide. It names the same diabetes drug, with a molecular weight of 129.2 daltons. It has been FDA approved for type 2 diabetes since 1994 and is not approved for aging. The record in people on that page is the 21-year DPP follow-up and UKPDS 34, not a longevity label. A prescription for Glucophage is not permission to treat metformin as an anti-aging plan. This site does not rank brands. Full record at /compounds/metformin.
