Glycomet 500 SR contains metformin, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by improving the body’s response to insulin, reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and increasing the uptake of glucose by cells. This helps lower blood sugar levels and enhances insulin sensitivity. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures a gradual release of metformin, allowing for better tolerance and adherence to the medication regimen, aiding in the long-term management of diabetes.
