Metformin — All Brands in Nigeria

We list 35 NAFDAC-registered brands of Metformin, sourced from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products. They are produced by manufacturers including Adpharm Pharmaceutical Industries, Afrab-Chem, Avro Pharma, Drugfield Pharmaceuticals, Generics and Specialities, among others. Because it is drawn from the live register, this is far more complete than a typical brand list.

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook. However, counterfeiters sometimes copy a genuine NAFDAC number onto a fake product, so always confirm that the brand, manufacturer (applicant), and strength printed on the pack match the record before you buy, and purchase only from licensed pharmacies.

Metformin brands in Nigeria typically cost ₦300 to ₦5,000 per pack, depending on the brand, strength, and where you buy it. Imported brands are often more expensive than locally manufactured ones. See the full price guide on the main Metformin page.

Well-known locally manufactured Metformin brands include Emzophage, Dialon. Imported brands include Glucophage (France), Glucophage XR (France), Panfor (India). Many more locally made brands appear in the full registry table above — locally manufactured products carry NAFDAC numbers with the 04- prefix, while imported ones typically use A4-.
