Siofor XR, Ranmet XR and Glucophage XR are different pharmaceutical products that contain the same active ingredient, metformin in the form of extended-release tablets. The main goal of these drugs is to regulate blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Even though all of these drugs contain metformin in an extended-release form, they may differ slightly in terms of other excipients, packaging, tablet appearance, etc., but the main action and mechanism of action are similar.
If you experience side effects after taking Glucophage XR that do not occur with Siofor XR or Ranmet XR, it may be due to differences in the excipients that may affect your tolerance to the drug. Please keep in mind that every patient is different and may react slightly differently to different brands or forms of medications.
If your doctor has prescribed any of these forms of metformin and you have concerns or questions about side effects or how the drug works, it's always a good idea to discuss this with your doctor. Your doctor can tailor your treatment to your individual needs and response to the medicine.
If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
