WHAT IS YOUR MEDICINE FOR?
Meditab Metformin is one of the groups of medicines
called oral hypoglycaemics, which work by reducing
the level of sugar in the blood in people with diabetes
mellitus.
Diabetes Meilitus is a condition in which the blood
glucose levels are not adequately controlled.
There are two types of diabetes
• Type 1 which is called insulin dependent diabetes
or juvenile onset diabetes, when insulin alone is
not enough to control blood glucose levels.
• Type 2 which is called Non insulin Dependent
