How Diabetmin Works
Diabetmin helps control diabetes through three primary actions:

Reduces Glucose Production: It lowers the amount of sugar produced by your liver.
Limits Absorption: It decreases the amount of sugar your body absorbs from the food you eat.
Improves Insulin Sensitivity: It helps your body's cells respond better to insulin, allowing them to use glucose more effectively.

Uses and Indications
Diabetmin 500mg is primarily used for:

Type 2 Diabetes Management: As a first-line therapy alongside diet and exercise.
PCOS (Off-label): Sometimes prescribed by doctors to help manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms.
Combination Therapy: Can be used with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin when necessary.

Dosage and Administration
Always follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor. Tablets should be taken with or after meals to reduce stomach-related side effects. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Important Safety Information
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a metallic taste in the mouth. These effects are usually temporary and often disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine.
Precautions:

Consult a doctor if you have severe kidney or liver problems.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on Metformin.
If you experience persistent stomach upset, contact a Meddylab pharmacist for guidance.
