Description: Glucomet 500mg Tablets contain metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide class medication that helps manage blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

It’s often prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.
Dosage/Directions: The typical starting dose for adults is 500mg once or twice daily, taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Depending on blood glucose control, the dose may be gradually increased to a maximum of 2000mg per day, divided into 2-3 doses. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis, particularly in individuals with kidney impairment. If any severe symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
