Type 2 diabetes management. Prescription required.
Metformin 500mg is the first-line medicine for managing type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar by reducing the amount of glucose released by the liver and improving how the body responds to insulin.
It is usually taken alongside a healthy diet and regular activity, and does not typically cause low blood sugar on its own. This is a prescription-only medicine.
Store below 25C in a dry place out of reach of children. Keep tablets in the original pack until needed.
