Introduction to Metafort G2 CP Tablet

Metafort G2 CP Tablets is a combination of Glimepiride and Metformin which belongs to a group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. Metafort is used to treat type 2 Diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise and the single agent does not result in adequate glycemic control. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic medical condition in which the body does not make enough insulin, or the produced insulin does not work well.Symptoms include excessive urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce more insulin and helps the body use insulin efficiently. Metformin is a biguanide which effectively reduces the total amount of sugar released into the blood by the liver. Along treatment with Metafort follow regular exercise and diet plan as advised by your doctor to achieve better results.

Before taking Metafort inform your doctor if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe liver or kidney disease, acute heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is not suitable for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
