Daomin 500 mg is an oral antihyperglycemic medication manufactured by ACME Laboratories Ltd., primarily used to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Metformin Hydrochloride, a biguanide-class drug that helps control blood sugar levels. Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production, decreasing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity, leading to better glucose uptake and utilization in peripheral tissues. Unlike some other antidiabetic medications, metformin does not typically cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used alone. It is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient to control blood glucose levels. Daomin 500 mg is usually taken with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. The dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerance, with a typical starting dose of 500 mg twice daily, which can be gradually increased up to a maximum of 2000 mg per day. Patients should be monitored regularly, especially those with kidney or liver conditions, as metformin is contraindicated in severe renal or hepatic impairment due to the risk of lactic acidosis. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider for personalized treatment adjustments.
