Medopharm 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. Medopharm 500mg provides the gold-standard, first-line metabolic defense. Formulated with Metformin Hydrochloride, it actively decreases glucose production in the liver and significantly increases the body's cellular sensitivity to insulin, safely lowering blood sugar without causing dangerous hypoglycemic crashes.
How to Use / Operate
Take exactly as prescribed by your endocrinologist. 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).
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Medopharm 500mg Tablets used for?
They are a prescription oral medication used to control high blood sugar in patients with Type 2 diabetes and to manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Will this cause me to gain weight?
No. Unlike insulin or sulfonylureas, Metformin does not typically cause weight gain, and in many patients, it actively supports mild weight loss.
Important Clinical Considerations
Metformin carries a black box warning for Lactic Acidosis, a rare but life-threatening metabolic complication. Discontinue use temporarily and consult a doctor prior to receiving any IV contrast dye for CT scans or surgeries. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
