About METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1
METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a group of anti-diabetic medicines called biguanides. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disorder that affects the way our body processes glucose. METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone have not been enough to control the blood glucose levels.
METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 contains Metformin, which works by decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed from the food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Thereby, METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 helps control the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood.
In some cases, METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually overtime. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.
Do not take METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. METFORM SR 1GM TABLETS 1 is safe for use in children above 10 years if prescribed by the doctor. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
