Description

Metformin-Tchaikapharma contains metformin, a medicine to treat diabetes. It belongs to a group of medicines called biguanides.

If you have diabetes, your pancreas does not make enough insulin or your body is not able to use properly the insulin it produces. This leads to a high level of glucose in your blood. Metformin-Tchaikapharma helps to lower your blood glucose to as normal a level.

Indications

Metformin-Tchaikapharma is used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes (also called “non-insulin dependent diabetes”) when diet and exercise alone have not been enough to control your blood glucose levels. It is used particularly in overweight patients.

Subject to medical prescription.
