WHAT
GLYCOMET - 500 SR
IS USED FOR
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in
adults,
when
dietary
management
and
exercise alone does not result in adequate
glycaemic control. Metformin extended
release may be used as monotherapy or
in
combination
with
other
oral
antidiabetic agents, or with insulin.
HOW GLYCOMET - 500 SR WORKS

blood

levels
by
lowering
blood
sugar
levels
in
the
fasting
state
and
following a meal. It does not stimulate
insulin secretion and therefore does not
produce low blood sugar levels.
