Glucare 500Mg 50 Tablets

Glucare 500 is an oral tablet containing the active ingredient metformin hydrochloride, belonging to the biguanide class of drugs. It is used to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially those who are overweight.

Glucare 500 uses

• Blood Sugar Control: Glucare 500 lowers blood glucose levels by reducing its production in the liver, decreasing its absorption from the intestines, and improving the cells’ sensitivity to insulin, helping the body make better use of available insulin.

• Monotherapy or Combination Therapy: Can be used alone or with other antidiabetic drugs (oral medications or insulin) to enhance glycemic control.

• Additional Benefits in Obese Patients: Helps reduce the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications and supports weight maintenance or slight weight loss.

• Complication Prevention: Blood sugar control reduces the risk of complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, eye damage, and nerve damage.
