Glucophage 850 mg 30 Tablets
Metformin is a biguanide with an anti-hyperglycemic effect that lowers both basal and postprandial glucose and does not stimulate insulin formation. It acts by reducing the hepatic glucose formation by preventing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It also increases the sensitivity of the insulin in the muscles thus improving peripheral glucose utilization.Indications:
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome.
Points of interest:

• Tell your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or cramps.
• Metformin has a slow onset of action, it may take up to 2 weeks to establish control.
