Reply: Oh!: "Re: Cheeper Metformin!" glucophage is the non-proprietary name (no one ones that name) Metformin is a proprietary name (some one owns it) So the generic name is glucophage, but another company can now decide to market glucophage and give it another proprietary name (or not). EX: Tylenol is proprietary, while acetaminophen is non-proprietary. Or Panadol is proprietary, while acetaminophen is non-proprietary. (Same generic name different proprietary name) I bet I just confused you all :) At Fri, 22 Dec 2000, :o/ wrote: > >I'm newly diagnosed and just started glucophage...so if someone could >make me understand...I thought metformin Was the generic for glucophage, >or is it just the chemical name?
