Metform SR-500

Metform SR-500 from Knoll contains metformin in a sustained-release tablet. Metformin is a biguanide antidiabetic medicine widely used to manage type 2 diabetes.

• Helps control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
• Often paired with diet and lifestyle changes
• Sometimes used in insulin-resistance conditions like PCOS

Metformin reduces the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body respond better to its own insulin, so glucose is used more efficiently.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with or just after food to ease stomach upset. Swallow the SR tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.

• Nausea, loose stools, or a metallic taste, especially when starting
• Reduced appetite or mild stomach discomfort
• Long-term use may lower vitamin B12 levels

Share any kidney, liver, or heart issues with your doctor. Avoid heavy alcohol use. Stop and seek care if you feel unusually weak, breathless, or have muscle pain, as these can signal a rare but serious reaction.

Keep in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and out of children's reach.
