Glyciphage SR 850 mg Tablet contains Metformin hydrochloride (850 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Decreases Liver Glucose Production: Metformin inhibits processes in your liver called gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. These processes are responsible for making new glucose and breaking down stored glucose respectively.

• Increases Insulin Sensitivity: By improving your body's sensitivity to insulin, metformin aids in better glucose uptake and usage by muscles and fat tissues.

• Delays Intestinal Glucose Absorption: Metformin slows down the absorption of glucose from your intestines after you eat, thus helping to keep blood sugar levels stable.
