Metformin Teva (Metformin)

Metformin lowers blood sugar by decreasing the liver’s production of glucose, reducing intestinal absorption of glucose, and enhancing the sensitivity of muscle and fat cells to insulin, thereby facilitating more efficient glucose utilization.

The appropriate dose of Metformin Teva is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s medical condition, response to therapy, and renal function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety of Metformin Teva during pregnancy or lactation should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against possible risks and decide whether continuation is appropriate for the mother and child.

To order Metformin Teva, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity.

Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and is often first‑line therapy for type 2 diabetes because of its efficacy, low risk of hypoglycemia, and weight‑neutral profile. Compared with sulfonylureas or insulin, it does not typically cause weight gain and has a well‑established safety record.

Metformin Teva should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the tablets from moisture and keep them out of reach of children to maintain product integrity.

Metformin Teva is taken orally, usually with meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not crushed or chewed unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

The most serious risk is lactic acidosis, a rare but potentially fatal condition that can occur in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, excessive alcohol intake, or other predisposing factors. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms such as rapid breathing, muscle pain, or abdominal discomfort develop.

Metformin Teva is contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment, acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, known hypersensitivity to metformin, or those receiving radiographic contrast studies that may affect kidney function. Patients with these conditions should discuss alternative therapies with their healthcare provider.
