Metformin 500 mg SR Tablets – Brief Product Introduction
Metformin 500 mg SR (Sustained Release) Tablets are an oral antidiabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is considered a first-line therapy and helps achieve effective glycemic control with good safety and tolerability. The SR formulation ensures gradual drug release, improving gastrointestinal tolerance and patient compliance.
Mode of Action
Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis), improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake. It also decreases intestinal glucose absorption, leading to overall reduction in blood glucose levels without stimulating insulin secretion.
