Metform SR-500 Tablet contains Metformin (500 mg), which has various effects on your body:

• Reduces Glucose Absorption: Metformin decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from your intestines.

• Limits Glucose Production: It reduces the production of glucose by your liver, a process known as hepatic gluconeogenesis.

• Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in your muscles and other peripheral tissues.

• Delays Glucose Absorption: It slows down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.

These actions collectively help lower your blood sugar levels without causing hypoglycaemia, because metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion.
