CompositionGluformin 500 Tablet is used for the management of type 2 diabetes and as a supportive therapy for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It helps lower high blood sugar and improves the body's use of its own insulin, and supports regulation of the menstrual cycle in PCOS.
It contains metformin, which belongs to the biguanide class of medicines. It works by decreasing the amount of sugar the liver makes, reducing the amount of sugar the intestines absorb, and increasing the sensitivity of muscles to insulin. Take it with a meal as prescribed to minimise the chance of stomach upset.
Staying physically active and following a balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake support better blood sugar management alongside this medicine.
Consult your doctor if you experience extreme tiredness, muscle pain, or rapid breathing, as these can be signs of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems before starting this medicine.
