How does it Work?

Glycoheal 1000mg contains the active ingredient Metformin. It decreases the amount of glucose (sugar) produced by the liver. In people with type 2 diabetes, the liver tends to produce too much glucose. This leads to high blood sugar levels.

Metformin helps the body’s cells become more sensitive to insulin. By increasing insulin sensitivity, metformin helps the cells use insulin more effectively. This allows them to take up and utilize glucose from the bloodstream. It promotes glucose uptake by muscles and decreases glucose absorption from the gut. These actions help lower and control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Uses

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) due to the body’s inability to effectively use insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar.

Recommended Dose

The recommended dose of Glycoheal 1000 mg is usually once or twice a day orally. It can be taken with or without food. Try to take it around the same time(s) each day for the best results. Follow your doctor’s exact instructions. Do not take more or less than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.

Missed Dose

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
