About This Medicine

Product description & overview

MF 500 Tablet is a prescription-only medication containing Metformin as the active ingredient, in a strength of 500mg per tablet. It is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, specifically for patients who do not respond to diet therapy or whose hyperglycemia has not been adequately controlled by sulfonylurea therapy. MF 500 Tablet is a biguanide class medication that reduces glucose production in the liver and increases glucose utilization in the periphery, thereby improving glycemic control. It is usually taken twice daily, before meals, with or without food. The tablet is white to off-white in color, round in shape, and scored on one side. Patients should be advised to maintain good oral hygiene and to rinse their mouth thoroughly after taking the tablet. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects such as lactic acidosis, heart failure, and hypoglycemia may occur, although these are rare. MF 500 Tablet should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional and in accordance with the recommended dosage and administration instructions.
