Glycomet 500 Tablet — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Metformin hydrochloride 500 mg

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.

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).

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