Description:
Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg (Sustained Release) is an oral anti-diabetic medication used primarily in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Belonging to the biguanide class of drugs, Metformin works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues.
The sustained release (SR) formulation allows gradual drug release into the bloodstream, providing steady glucose control throughout the day while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects commonly seen with immediate-release forms. It is often used alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic agents for optimal blood sugar management.

- Sustained blood sugar control throughout the day

- Helps improve insulin sensitivity
