Bigomet 500mg Metformin Tablets - 1 Strip of 10 Tablets
Type 2 diabetes and severe insulin resistance cause dangerous spikes in blood sugar, leading to long-term nerve, kidney, and cardiovascular damage. Bigomet 500mg provides a high-potency, gold-standard metabolic defense. It is formulated with metformin hydrochloride active biguanide oral blood glucose antihyperglycemic[cite: 1]. By decreasing glucose production in the liver and significantly increasing the body's cellular sensitivity to insulin, it safely lowers blood sugar without causing dangerous hypoglycemic crashes.
How to Use / Operate
Take exactly as prescribed by your endocrinologist. It is indicated for therapeutic glycemic management control in type two diabetes[cite: 1]. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It MUST be taken with or immediately after meals to minimize severe gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, diarrhea).
