Sugamet MC 500 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): It works primarily by decreasing the production of glucose in the liver, a process known as gluconeogenesis. Additionally, it enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, promoting better uptake and utilization of glucose in muscle and fat tissues. Metformin also slows down the absorption of glucose in the intestines, helping to prevent sharp spikes in blood sugar levels after meals.

• Methylcobalamin (750 mcg): It is the active form of Vitamin B12 and plays a vital role in nerve and brain function. It supports the repair and regeneration of nerves by aiding in the formation of the myelin sheath, a protective covering around nerve fibers. Methylcobalamin may help decrease oxidative stress, a form of cellular harm that can lead to neuropathy. It also helps restore nerve protein kinase C (PKC) function, which is disrupted in diabetic neuropathy.

• Keep Sugamet MC 500 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Shield it from light and moisture to maintain its potency.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children for safety.

• Make sure you use it before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Include plenty of fibre-rich foods in your daily diet. They slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream and prevent sudden spikes in blood glucose levels.

• Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling. Regular exercise helps enhance insulin sensitivity, which can help manage your blood glucose levels more effectively.
