Metfor 500 mg (20 pills)

Description

Metfor is a drug that helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels in the body. Metfor is used to treat Type 2 diabetes, heart disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Metfor works by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It suppresses the quantity of glucose that the liver releases in the body. Thus, it lowers the blood sugar levels in the body of a patient suffering from Type 2 diabetes. Metfor also increases your sensitivity to insulin, enabling your body to absorb larger quantities of glucose.

Metfor is an oral drug that is used to control and balance blood sugar levels. This medication is used in the treatment of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you do not manage the condition of diabetes, it can result in kidney failure, obesity and heart disorders. Therefore, Metfor helps keep your blood sugar levels low and your diabetes in check.

Metfor does not increase the amount of insulin in the body; instead, it decreases the production of sugar. The liver of patients, who suffer from type 2 diabetes, produces thrice the amount of glucose and their bodies do not have the capacity to absorb these large amounts of glucose. Metfor is effective in lowering the amount of glucose that the liver releases. It also decreases your appetite and increases your body's sensitivity to insulin, thus, reducing the amount of glucose that is absorbed by your blood. An increased sensitivity to insulin also lowers your levels of cholesterol and helps you to lose weight.

In some cases, it is advisable for the patients of certain conditions to avoid taking this medication. You should inform your doctor before taking this medicine, if you suffer from conditions like liver disease, kidney disorders, heart disease, allergies and diabetic ketoacidosis. Pregnant women, women who are breast-feeding their infants and children below ten years should not take this medicine.

The common side effects of Metfor include: diarrhea, dizziness, headaches, vomiting and stomach cramps.
