Metformin 750mg PR Tablets
SKU GME317Product Introduction
Metformin 750mg PR tablet is a prolonged-release biguanide treatment for type 2 diabetes. Gradual release can improve gastrointestinal tolerability for some people while supporting blood-glucose control.
How to use
Take the modified-release tablet with a meal and swallow it whole; do not crush or chew it. A tablet shell may occasionally be visible in the stool after the medicine has been released. Severe vomiting, diarrhoea or dehydration may require a temporary treatment pause because kidney function affects metformin clearance.
How it works
Metformin lowers hepatic glucose production, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces intestinal glucose absorption to support type 2 diabetes control.
Side effects
Possible effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, metallic taste, reduced appetite, and low B12 with long-term use. Serious concerns include lactic acidosis, severe dehydration, allergic reaction, and hypoglycemia when combined with other diabetes medicines.
Important information
Tell your doctor about kidney or liver problems, dehydration, a severe infection, heart or lung failure, heavy alcohol use, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Mention planned contrast imaging or surgery, B12 deficiency risk, insulin, sulfonylureas and carbonic-anhydrase inhibitors such as topiramate. Kidney function affects whether metformin can be used safely.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus when metformin therapy is prescribed.
Benefits
Improves glucose and HbA1c control, has low hypoglycemia risk when used alone, and is often a foundation medicine in type 2 diabetes care.
What is Metformin 750mg used for?
Metformin 750mg is used to improve glucose control in type 2 diabetes.
Why take metformin with food?
Food can reduce nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort.
Can SR tablets be crushed?
No. Swallow the modified-release tablet intact; crushing or chewing can disrupt its release system.
Why is kidney function checked?
Metformin safety depends on kidney clearance, and reduced kidney function can increase lactic acidosis risk.
What lactic acidosis symptoms matter?
Severe weakness, fast breathing, unusual sleepiness, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, or feeling very cold need urgent review.
Does metformin cause low sugar?
Metformin alone rarely causes hypoglycemia, but risk rises with insulin, sulfonylureas, missed meals, or heavy exercise.
