About
Metformin 1000 mg Sustained Release (SR) tablets are primarily used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus and are also prescribed for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Primary Uses
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Metformin SR helps manage blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough. By keeping blood glucose levels in check, it helps prevent serious complications like kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and cardiovascular issues (heart attack or stroke).
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): It is used as an off-label treatment for PCOS. It works by improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, which helps lower insulin and androgen (male hormone) levels, leading to more regular menstrual cycles, improved ovulation, and reduced symptoms like acne and excess hair growth.
