Description
Metarin 500 mg is a medication containing metformin hydrochloride, primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing hepatic glucose production, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake. This combination helps in controlling blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
The typical starting dose for adults is 500 mg taken twice daily with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. The dosage may be gradually increased based on the patient's response, up to a maximum of 2550 mg per day. For children aged 10 years and above, the starting dose is usually 500 mg once or twice daily, with adjustments made as necessary.
