About Mignar 25-MF Tablet

Mignar 25-MF Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidiabetic drugs’ used to treat 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 normal. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (utilizes glucose to produce energy) or if produced, it cannot function properly in the body.

Mignar 25-MF Tablet contains Miglitol and Metformin. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. Miglitol works by inhibiting intestinal enzymes that break complex sugars into simple sugars like glucose. Together, Mignar 25-MF Tablet can effectively prevent the rise in glucose levels in the body.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Mignar 25-MF Tablet are flatulence (gas), diarrhoea, abdominal pain, feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting) and loss of appetite. These side effects can be reduced if this medicine is taken with food or after a meal. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Mignar 25-MF Tablet if you are allergic to any contents of it. Mignar 25-MF Tablet is not recommended if you are having any intestinal problems such as inflammation, ulcers, blockage, hernia, liver problems, severe kidney impairment, uncontrolled diabetes, severe dehydration, severe infections, and a recent history of heart attack or heart failure.

Uses of Mignar 25-MF Tablet

  • Controls Blood Sugar Levels: Mignar 25-MF Tablet helps to manage blood glucose by slowing carbohydrate absorption in the intestines and improving the body's response to insulin.

Key Benefits

Mignar 25-MF Tablet  is a combination of two drugs: Miglitol and Metformin. This combination therapy is preferred in patients with poorly controlled diabetes.
