Make sure you recognize the signs of having low blood glucose levels, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking and know how to deal with it. To prevent this, it's important to have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose such as sugary food or fruit juice with you. Drinking alcohol can also increase your risk of low blood sugar levels and should be avoided.

Some people may find that they put on weight with this medicine.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have ever had heart disease. It may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it.

Benefits of Metova Tablet

Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body either resists the effects of insulin or does not produce enough insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Metova 500mg/75mg Tablet helps control blood glucose by improving the body's response to insulin and supporting better carbohydrate metabolism. Managing blood sugar levels effectively helps reduce the risk of long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, and cardiovascular problems, contributing to better overall health and quality of life.

How Metova Tablet works

Metova 500mg/75mg Tablet contains metformin and benfotiamine. Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine that lowers blood sugar mainly by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body's response to insulin. Benfotiamine is a form of vitamin B1 that reduces accumulation of nerve cells, thus protecting nerves from damage, improves nerve function, and reduces pain/tingling sensations associated with diabetes.
