Glycomet-500 SR Tablet contains Metformin (500 mg), which has various mechanisms of action:

• Reduces Liver Glucose Production: Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver by blocking its processes of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: It improves insulin sensitivity in the tissues by increasing glucose uptake and utilisation in muscle and fat tissues.
• Delays Intestinal Glucose Absorption: Metformin slows down the absorption of glucose in your intestines.
• Stimulates Glycogen Synthesis: By acting on an enzyme called glycogen synthase, it enhances the synthesis of glycogen, a storage form of glucose.
• Increases Glucose Transporter Translocation: Metformin increases the translocation of a protein called glucose transporter (GLUT4), which further enhances glucose uptake.

Keep the Glycomet-500 SR Tablet in a well-closed, light-resistant container.
