Overview

Glucophage 500mg Tablets (90 pack) from Merck contain metformin hydrochloride, the gold-standard first-line medicine for type 2 diabetes recommended in treatment guidelines worldwide. Metformin lowers blood sugar by reducing the liver's glucose production, slowing sugar absorption from the gut and helping the body's own insulin work more effectively. All without causing weight gain or hypoglycaemia when used alone. It is also widely prescribed for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to improve insulin resistance. The 500mg strength is the standard starting dose, and this 90-tablet pack provides reliable, economical cover for people managing diabetes long term.

Metformin hydrochloride 500mg per film-coated tablet.

Directions for Use

This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Glucophage is usually taken two to three times daily with or immediately after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water. Your doctor will start low and increase gradually (maximum typically 2000-3000mg daily in divided doses) based on blood sugar readings. Keep taking it consistently alongside diet and exercise, and monitor your blood glucose as advised.

Do not use in severe kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe dehydration, serious infection or heavy alcohol use. These raise the risk of rare but serious lactic acidosis (rapid breathing, severe weakness, unusual muscle pain. Seek urgent care). Kidney function should be checked periodically; metformin may be paused around contrast-dye scans or major surgery. Long-term use can lower vitamin B12. Early nausea, metallic taste or loose stools usually settle. Take with food. Tell your doctor if pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store below 30°C.
