• Headache

How to Use

Take the tablet exactly as advised by your doctor. Do not crush or chew it. Swallow it whole with a glass of water, preferably after food to reduce stomach upset.

How It Works

Obimet SR 500 contains Metformin, which controls blood glucose through three mechanisms:

• Reduces glucose production in the liver
• Slows the absorption of sugar from the gut
• Improves insulin sensitivity in muscles and tissues

In PCOS, Metformin helps lower insulin levels, which improves hormonal balance and supports weight control, fertility, and menstrual regularity.
