WHAT GLYCOMET TABLET
IS USED FOR
Glycomet
tablets
contain
the
active
ingredient
metformin
hydrochloride.
Metformin
hydrochloride
belongs
to
a
group
of
medicines
called
biguanides
used
for
the
treatment
of
non-insulin-
dependent
diabetes
mellitus
(type
2
diabetes) in adults and children from 10
years of age.
Glycomet tablets are a medicine used to
lower high blood sugar levels in patients
with diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes);
particularly in overweight patients when
dietary management and exercise alone
does not result in control of blood sugar.
HOW GLYCOMET TABLET WORKS
Insulin
is
a
hormone
produced
by
the
pancreas that makes your body take in
glucose
(sugar)
from
the
blood.
Your
body uses glucose to produce energy or
stores it for future use.
If you have diabetes, your pancreas does
not make enough insulin or your body is
not
able
to
use
properly
the
insulin
it
produces. This leads to a high level of
glucose in your blood. Metformin helps to
lower your blood glucose to as normal a
level as possible.

the
blood.
