Product Introduction

Gluformin Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine from the biguanide class. It is commonly prescribed for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, especially when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient. It works best when taken with food and at the same time daily. Regular diet and physical activity are essential for best outcomes.

Side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and headache are commonly reported but usually resolve with time. Rarely, it may cause low blood sugar or a serious condition called lactic acidosis, particularly in kidney-impaired individuals.

Patients with heart, liver, or kidney problems should consult their doctor before use. Avoid alcohol. Kidney function may be monitored before starting the treatment.
