Glucomet XR 500mg Tablets 28's

Description: Glucomet XR 500mg Tablets contain metformin hydrochloride in an extended-release formulation, designed for controlled, gradual release to manage type 2 diabetes. Metformin helps lower blood glucose levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. The extended-release format helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and minimizes gastrointestinal side effects compared to immediate-release formulations. Dosage/Directions: The usual starting dose is 500mg once daily with the evening meal. Depending on individual blood glucose control, your healthcare provider may adjust the dose, up to a maximum of 2000mg per day, taken in divided doses. Do not crush or chew the tablets; swallow them whole. Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis and vitamin B12 deficiency. If you experience symptoms like unusual muscle pain or severe breathing issues, seek medical attention immediately.
