CompositionMetform SR-500 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults by lowering blood sugar. Taken alongside diet and exercise, it helps when lifestyle measures alone are not enough, and it supports a lower risk of long-term complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It contains metformin. It works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body's response to insulin, so the body uses insulin more effectively.
Take the tablet with food to reduce stomach upset, and follow the dietary and exercise advice your doctor gives.
Rarely, metformin can cause lactic acidosis, a serious condition. Seek medical help at once if you get muscle pain, breathing difficulty, a slow or irregular heartbeat, dizziness or extreme weakness. Tell your doctor about any kidney problems before starting.
