Metform 850 mg contains Metformin Hydrochloride, a medication primarily used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It helps to regulate blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improving the body's response to insulin. Metformin is also used to treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), as it helps to manage insulin resistance.
Metformin does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) on its own, but it may be used in combination with other diabetes medications. It is usually prescribed to be taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects like nausea or diarrhea.
