Product Introduction

Metsmall SR 500 Tablet is a sustained-release formulation of Metformin Hydrochloride, used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It helps control high blood sugar, especially in overweight patients, by improving the body’s response to insulin and reducing glucose production in the liver.

Uses of Metsmall SR 500

  • Manages blood sugar in Type 2 Diabetes
  • Helps improve insulin sensitivity
  • May be used in PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

Benefits of This Medicine

Metsmall SR 500 controls blood sugar levels without causing weight gain or hypoglycemia when used alone. Its sustained-release mechanism ensures fewer gastric side effects and better tolerability.

Possible Side Effects

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Flatulence
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Loss of appetite
  • Metallic taste
  • Rarely: Lactic acidosis (requires immediate medical care)

How to Use

Take the tablet with meals to minimize gastrointestinal issues. Swallow it whole without crushing or chewing. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage strictly.

How It Works

Metformin works by:

  • Reducing glucose production in the liver
  • Decreasing sugar absorption in the intestine
  • Enhancing insulin sensitivity in muscles and fat

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
