WHAT XMET IS USED FOR
XMET
contains
metformin
,
a
medicine to treat diabetes. It belongs
to
a
group
of
medicines
called
biguanides.
XMET is used to treat patients with
type 2 diabetes (also called 'non-
insulin dependent diabetes') when
diet and exercise alone have not
been enough to control your blood
glucose
levels.
It
is
used
particularly in overweight patients.
Adults can take XMET on its own or
together with other medicines to treat
diabetes (medicines taken by mouth or
insulin).
Children
10
years
and
over
and
adolescents can take XMET on its
own or together with insulin.
HOW XMET 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.
XMET helps to lower your blood
glucose
to
as
normal
a
level
as
possible.
If you are an overweight adult, taking
XMET over a long
period of time
also
helps
to
lower
the
risk
of
complications
associated
with
diabetes. XMET is associated with
either a stable body weight or modest
weight loss.
