Description of Okamet 500 mg
Okamet 500 is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It contains Metformin, a biguanide that works by reducing glucose production in the liver and enhancing the body’s insulin response. By lowering blood sugar levels, Okamet 500 helps prevent complications like kidney disease, nerve damage, and heart issues. It is typically prescribed for long-term diabetes management and is safe for use in children over 10 years under medical supervision. Always follow your doctor’s recommendations for dosage and monitor blood sugar levels regularly while using Okamet 500.
