Glyciphage 500 Tablet — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Metformin hydrochloride 500 mg

Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and reduces absorption of glucose from the intestine. It also improves insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping cells use glucose more effectively and lowering blood sugar without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, usually with or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Take at the same time each day; dose is titrated based on blood glucose and tolerance.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
