Description
Meteor 500mg Tablets 50s — Metformin
Meteor 500mg Tablets contain Metformin hydrochloride, a first-line biguanide anti-diabetic agent prescribed for the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal glucose absorption, and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, helping maintain target blood glucose levels.
Benefits

- Reduces hepatic (liver) glucose output — the primary mechanism of action
- Supports weight-neutral or mild weight-reducing effect in diabetic patients
- May reduce cardiovascular risk associated with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes
- Pack of 50 tablets — suitable for ongoing diabetes management regimens
