Composition of Glycomet 500 Tablet
Glycomet 500 Tablet contains Metformin (500mg). It belongs to the Biguanide class of medicines.
Uses of Glycomet 500 Tablet
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to control blood glucose)
- Prediabetes
- Insulin resistance (as advised by doctor)
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with insulin resistance (off-label
- As prescribed)
Benefits of Glycomet 500 Tablet
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Glycomet lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use its own insulin, so blood sugar stays in a steadier range through the day. Keeping sugar controlled over the years protects the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage diabetes causes.
How Glycomet 500 Tablet works
Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and reduces intestinal glucose absorption. It also improves insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat, helping the body use insulin better and lowering blood sugar without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.
How to take Glycomet 500 Tablet
Tablet (immediate-release): take exactly as prescribed, usually with or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow with water; do not crush unless advised. Take at the same time each day; if a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose (do not double).
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Glycomet 500 SR Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Glycomet 500 Tablet
Most side effects of Glycomet are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- abdominal pain
- loss of appetite
- metallic taste
- flatulence
- headache
- vitamin B12 deficiency (with long-term use)
