Frequently asked questions about Metformin

Q. How does this medicine help in both diabetes and PCOS when these are different conditions?

In diabetes, the main issue is high blood sugar due to insulin resistance. In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, insulin resistance also plays a key role and affects hormone balance. Glorimet 500mg Tablet SR improves how the body responds to insulin, which helps lower blood sugar in diabetes and can also help regulate hormones and cycles in PCOS.

Q. Can this medicine be used if blood sugar levels are only slightly high?

Yes, it may be prescribed even in early stages or prediabetes to improve insulin sensitivity and prevent progression, especially when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.

Q. Do I need to continue Glorimet 500mg Tablet SR long-term?

Both diabetes and PCOS are long-term conditions. Glorimet 500mg Tablet SR is often used for an extended period, but the duration depends on your response, goals, and your doctor’s advice.

Q. What makes Glorimet 500mg Tablet SR different from other diabetes medicines?

Unlike some medicines that increase insulin levels, this medicine mainly works by improving how the body uses insulin and reducing sugar production in the liver, which makes it a commonly used first-line treatment.
