GenLabs Glycoheal (Metformin Hydrochloride) 500mg

GenLabs Glycoheal 500mg contains Metformin Hydrochloride, a prescription medication widely used to help manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Metformin belongs to a class of medicines known as biguanides and helps improve blood glucose control by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s response to insulin.

When used alongside an appropriate diet, regular physical activity, and other recommended lifestyle measures, Metformin can play an important role in long-term blood sugar management.

HOW DOES METFORMIN WORK?

Metformin primarily works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to use insulin more effectively.

It also has effects on glucose handling in the digestive system. Together, these actions help lower blood glucose levels without directly stimulating the pancreas to produce additional insulin.

DOSAGE

Metformin dosage depends on the formulation, individual blood glucose levels, kidney function, treatment response, and other medications.

For immediate-release Metformin, 500mg is a common starting strength, but the exact schedule and any dose increases should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Taking Metformin with meals can help reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Do not increase, decrease, or discontinue your medication without medical guidance.
