Overview

Metformin 1000 mg Tablets are a widely prescribed oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin belongs to the class of drugs called biguanides, which work by reducing glucose production in the liver, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing glucose uptake by muscle cells. It helps lower blood sugar levels and supports better glycemic control, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Key Benefits

  • Improves insulin sensitivity
  • Reduces hepatic glucose production
  • Helps manage type 2 diabetes alongside diet and exercise
  • Associated with weight stabilization or modest weight loss
  • Does not cause hypoglycemia when used alone
How to Use
  • Take orally with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects
  • Swallow the tablet whole with water
  • Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on timing and dosage
  • Maintain regular monitoring of blood glucose levels
Dosage Information
  • Typical dose: 1000 mg twice daily or as prescribed
  • Dose may be adjusted based on blood sugar response and tolerance
  • Maximum daily dose generally up to 2000-2500 mg depending on patient needs
  • Do not crush or chew extended-release formulations (if applicable)
Safety Information
  • Not suitable for patients with severe kidney impairment or metabolic acidosis
  • Use with caution in patients with liver disease or heart failure
  • Risk of lactic acidosis is rare but serious; discontinue if symptoms like muscle pain, weakness, or breathing difficulty occur
  • Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on treatment
Possible Side Effects
