Description of Glycomet 850mg
Glycomet 850 is a biguanide-class oral anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Metformin Hydrochloride (850mg), which helps lower blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin response. It is prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient to manage blood sugar. Regular use helps prevent complications like nerve damage, kidney issues, and vision loss. Glycomet 850 should be taken with food to minimize stomach irritation. Do not stop the medication suddenly without a doctor’s consultation, as it can lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
