Uses of Riomet OD 850 mg
This medicine is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Benefits of Riomet OD 850 mg
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Riomet OD 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 Riomet OD 850 mg works
Metformin lowers blood sugar by reducing the amount of glucose your liver releases and by helping your muscles respond better to your own insulin. It does not force your pancreas to make more insulin, which is why it rarely causes low blood sugar on its own.
How to take Riomet OD 850 mg
Use this medicine as your doctor has directed. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
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
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
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.

- Nausea

Warnings and precautions

Stop and seek urgent care if you develop deep rapid breathing, severe weakness, muscle pain or vomiting with cold clammy skin. This is rare but serious. Long-term use can lower vitamin B12, so your doctor may check it from time to time.
