Formin Plus 500 Tablet used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than usual. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (metabolises glucose), or if it is produced, it cannot function properly in the body.

Formin Plus 500 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Metformin and Methylcobalamin. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. It may deplete vitamin B12 levels. Therefore, it is administered with methylcobalamin, which can help treat vitamin B12 deficiency. Thus, Formin Plus 500 Tablet does not cause a sudden drop in blood glucose levels or significant hypoglycemia.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. You may experience side effects such as changes in taste, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (falling sick), diarrhoea, headache, anorexia (loss of appetite), and sweating. Inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor if you have any severe liver or kidney problems, as their normal functioning is required to eliminate excess lactic acid from the body.  Do not consume excess alcohol, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis. It should be used with caution in patients with heart disease as it increases the risk of heart failure. If you have dehydration (severe loss of body fluids) due to severe vomiting, diarrhoea, exposure to heat, or fever, stop taking Formin Plus 500 Tablet and immediately seek medical attention.
