UFORMIN-500 SR TAB — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Metformin hydrochloride 500 mg (sustained release)

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and decreases intestinal glucose absorption. It also improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, helping lower blood sugar without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Take by mouth as directed by doctor, usually once daily with the evening meal or with food. Swallow the sustained-release tablet whole; do not crush, break or chew. Regularly monitor blood glucose; continue diet and exercise advice.

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