About this product

Overview

Glyform 500mg tablet contains Metformin (500mg). It comes as a tablet. The pack contains 5x10s tablet.

Metformin is the usual first-choice medicine for type 2 diabetes. It lowers the amount of sugar the liver releases and helps the body respond better to its own insulin.

Uses of Glyform 500mg tablet

Glyform 500mg tablet is used for:

  • Type 2 diabetes in adults and children
  • Insulin resistance
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), on a doctor’s advice

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Glyform 500mg tablet can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:

  • Nausea, loose motions or stomach upset, usually in the first weeks
  • Metallic taste in the mouth
  • Reduced appetite

Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.

Precautions

Taking metformin with food, and starting at a low dose, makes the stomach side effects much easier to tolerate. Your doctor will check kidney function periodically. Metformin is usually stopped for a short period before scans that use contrast dye and before major surgery. Long-term use can lower vitamin B12.

Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How to Use

Take Glyform 500mg tablet exactly as your doctor or pharmacist tells you. Swallow it with a glass of water. Do not change the dose or stop taking it on your own. Read the leaflet inside the pack before you start.
