Metformin ER is available as Glumetza, Fortamet, and Glucophage XR. Metformin is an alternative to insulin-based treatments for type II diabetes. However, this type of treatment may sometimes be recommended in cases where a person has a history of thyroid cancer and there's a significant risk of it reoccurring. Glucophage is used in the treatment of Diabetes, Type 2 and belongs to the drug class non-sulfonylureas. Antabuse is typically prescribed for patients who have tried other forms of treatment and have failed to achieve sobriety or for those who need extra support to resist the urge to drink.
The support system can also help individuals navigate through challenges, provide resources for relapse prevention, and offer guidance on healthy coping mechanisms.
