Description: Glucomet 850mg Tablets contain metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide medication that helps control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and increases glucose uptake in muscles. It is typically used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control.
Dosage/Directions: The usual starting dose for adults is 850mg once daily, taken with meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Depending on blood glucose levels, your healthcare provider may adjust the dose, with a maximum of 2550mg per day in divided doses. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset. Rare but serious side effects like lactic acidosis can occur, particularly in patients with kidney issues. Immediate medical attention is required if severe side effects are experienced.
