Is Glucophage the same as metformin?

Glucophage is a brand name listed as an alias on this site's metformin profile, alongside metformin HCl and dimethylbiguanide. It names the same biguanide, molecular weight 129.2 daltons, FDA approved for type 2 diabetes since 1994 and not approved for ageing. UKPDS 34 and the 21-year DPP follow-up are the human record on that page, not a longevity label. A prescription for Glucophage is not a license to treat metformin as an anti-aging protocol. This site does not rank brands. Full record at /compounds/metformin.
