Metsmall 1000 Tablet SR

Metsmall 1000 Tablet SR is a medication commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes. It helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of complications associated with diabetes. In women, it is also used to manage polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition linked to irregular menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances.

This tablet is smaller and lighter than standard metformin tablets, making it easier to swallow and improving adherence to the treatment plan.

For best results, take Metsmall 1000 Tablet SR with meals. Consistency is important, so try to take it at the same time every day. Do not discontinue the medicine on your own, as stopping suddenly can worsen your condition. Following your doctor’s advice on diet and exercise is an important part of managing diabetes effectively.
