Do you mean metformin? If so, that is the generic of glucophage.

If you mean metformin, it is a medication helps control blood glucose in diabetics by inhibiting the body's absorption of glucose, rather than causing the body to secrete more insulin, so the risk of hypoglycemia caused by the medication is eliminated. It is fairly safe and commonly prescribed, but should be given with care to people with kidney issues.
