Product information
About
Cetapin XR 500 is a sustained-release diabetes tablet that contains metformin, a biguanide. It is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes in adults
- Long-term blood sugar control
- Often used along with diet and exercise
How it works
Metformin lowers the amount of sugar made by the liver and helps the body use insulin better. The sustained-release form releases the medicine gradually through the day.
How to take
Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with the evening meal. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not crush or chew it.
Side effects
- Loose motions or stomach upset
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Vitamin B12 changes with long-term use
Precautions
Tell your doctor about any kidney, liver or heart problems, and if you drink alcohol often. Stop the medicine and inform your doctor before scans that use contrast dye or major surgery. Regular kidney and blood sugar checks are important.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
