Obimet 500mg Tablet contains metformin (500 mg) which works in the body as follows:

• Decreases Intestinal Glucose Absorption: Metformin reduces the absorption of glucose from your intestine, meaning less sugar enters your bloodstream.

• Reduces Liver Glucose Production: It inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, two processes in your liver that make glucose, thus reducing the amount of glucose your liver produces.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin improves your body's sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that helps your cells take in glucose and use it for energy.

• Delays Gastrointestinal Glucose Absorption: It slows down the absorption of glucose from your gastrointestinal tract, which helps to prevent spikes in your blood sugar levels after meals.

• Store Obimet 500mg Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container.

• Avoid exposing it to direct light and moisture.

• Always keep it out of reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.

• Ensure you utilise the tablet before its expiry date for maximum effect.

• Incorporate a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. These foods have low glycemic index values, assisting in better blood sugar management.

• Regular physical activity is crucial. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or cycling, every week. This can help enhance insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels better. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
