About Metsmall G 1mg/500mg Tablet
Metsmall G 1mg/500mg Tablet belongs to a class of medicines used for managing type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients to help control blood sugar levels in adults, supporting overall diabetes management.

This tablet is best taken with meals and should be used consistently at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and may adjust it based on your blood sugar readings and treatment response.

Even if your blood sugar appears well-controlled, it is important to continue the medicine as stopping it suddenly could increase the risk of complications, including kidney damage, nerve issues, vision problems, or other diabetes-related complications. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and healthy weight is essential to maximize the benefits of this treatment.

Possible Side Effects
The most frequent side effect is low blood sugar, known as hypoglycemia. Signs may include sweating, dizziness, headache, or tremors. Carry a quick source of sugar, such as fruit juice or candy, and maintain regular meals to reduce this risk. Alcohol consumption may also increase the likelihood of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other potential effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, taste changes, headache, mild weight gain, and upper respiratory infections.

This medicine is not suitable for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or individuals with severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems or other medical conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using it. Your blood sugar should be monitored regularly, and your doctor may request tests to check blood counts and liver function.

Benefits
Metsmall G 1mg/500mg Tablet works by increasing insulin production in the pancreas, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Regular use, combined with proper diet and physical activity, reduces the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, nerve disorders, eye problems, or limb loss. For those with PCOS, it helps regulate hormone levels, improving menstrual cycles and reducing symptoms like excessive hair growth or acne.

How to Use
Follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage and schedule. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and avoid crushing, chewing, or breaking it. Taking it with meals reduces stomach discomfort.

Mechanism of Action
The tablet contains Glimepiride, which stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, and Metformin, which decreases liver glucose production, slows sugar absorption in the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, these mechanisms help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
