CompositionWALAPHAGE 500 Tablet 10 is used for type 2 diabetes management and as a supportive therapy for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It helps lower high blood sugar and improves the body's ability to use its own insulin. For those with PCOS, it is vital for regulating the menstrual cycle, reducing unwanted hair growth, and improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
This treatment contains Metformin, which belongs to the biguanide class of medications. It works in three ways: it decreases the amount of sugar the liver makes, reduces the amount of sugar the intestines absorb, and increases the sensitivity of your muscles to insulin. This helps your body naturally manage glucose levels more effectively without causing the sudden "sugar crashes" seen with some other diabetes drugs.
This tablet should be taken with a meal as prescribed by your doctor to minimize the chance of stomach upset. It is important to stay active and follow a balanced diet for the best results. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience extreme fatigue, muscle pain, or rapid breathing, as these can be signs of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.
