Melmet 500 Tablet 20 contains metformin (500 mg), which influences your body through several mechanisms:

• Reduces liver glucose production: Metformin effectively cuts down glucose production by the liver.

• Decreases glucose absorption: It helps to reduce the absorption of glucose from your intestines.

• Enhances insulin sensitivity: By improving insulin sensitivity, metformin assists in better glucose uptake and utilisation by your body's cells and tissues.

Unlike other antidiabetic medicines, metformin doesn't cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) when used alone at recommended doses and does not prompt the pancreas to produce more insulin.
