About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Metsmall 500 Tablet SR is a delayed-release oral medication containing Metformin 500mg, a biguanide antidiabetic agent. It is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients who are intolerant to sulfonylureas or as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control. Metsmall 500 Tablet SR works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, thereby improving glucose tolerance. The sustained-release formulation provides a steady release of Metformin over 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing. Metsmall 500 Tablet SR is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those with impaired kidney function or liver disease. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, metallic taste, and headache. Metsmall 500 Tablet SR is available in a standardized formulation and should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider.
