A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Walmet 850 Tablet. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Walmet 850 Tablet contains Metformin (850mg). It belongs to the Biguanide (insulin sensitizer) class of medicines.
Metformin decreases glucose production by the liver and reduces intestinal absorption of glucose. It also improves insulin sensitivity in muscles and fat, helping the body use insulin more effectively and lowering blood sugar levels.
Tablet (oral). Take exactly as prescribed, usually with or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Dose is individualized; regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Walmet 850mg 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.
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.
Most side effects of Walmet are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Use with caution in kidney disease; dose adjustment/avoidance may be required based on eGFR. Avoid in severe liver disease, severe dehydration, sepsis, hypoxia/heart failure exacerbation.

The chances of weight gain and low blood sugar are lower with this medicine as compared to other diabetes medicines. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines or alcohol, or on delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief.
