Description
GLUCOMET XR 1000MG TABS 30`S is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) containing Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg in an extended-release (XR) formulation. It is commonly supplied in a pack of 30 tablets. Manufactured by companies like Aristopharma Ltd., this medication is a first-line treatment for adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, particularly those who are overweight or obese. The extended-release formulation allows for once-daily dosing, typically with the evening meal, and often reduces gastrointestinal side effects compared to immediate-release Metformin. It works by decreasing glucose production by the liver, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. It is also used in the management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
