Metfor Tablet contains metformin (500 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Reduces Glucose Production: Metformin primarily reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, effectively lowering blood sugar levels.
• Increases Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin also increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin. This means that your body's insulin can do its job more effectively, further reducing blood sugar levels.
• Decreases Glucose Absorption: Additionally, metformin slows down the absorption of sugars from the intestines into your bloodstream after meals. This gradual absorption prevents sudden spikes in blood sugar levels.

• Store Metfor Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
• Keep it well away from light and moisture.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach and sight of children.

• Since Metfor Tablet is used to manage diabetes, try to include fibre-rich foods in your diet. Foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help control blood sugar levels.
• Physical activity is essential when managing diabetes. Engage in regular exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, to help maintain a healthy weight and keep your blood sugar in check.
