Product Description:
Metformin Hydrochloride Sustained Release 1000 mg Tablets are an oral medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin is an antidiabetic agent that helps to lower blood sugar levels by improving the body’s response to insulin. Unlike some other oral diabetes medications, Metformin does not increase insulin production directly. Instead, it works by enhancing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, reducing the liver's production of glucose, and slowing down the absorption of glucose from the digestive tract.
The sustained-release (SR) formulation of Metformin 1000 mg allows for a gradual release of the medication throughout the day, providing steady blood sugar control with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea or upset stomach, that are often associated with immediate-release formulations.
Uses:
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults
Helps lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing liver glucose production
Can be used alone or in combination with other oral medications or insulin for better blood sugar control
