Obimet SR 1gm Tablet

Product introduction
Obimet SR 1gm Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling high blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of long-term complications. It is also prescribed for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to help regulate menstrual cycles and improve metabolic symptoms.

For best results, this tablet should be taken with meals and at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the dose and duration of treatment based on your health and response to the medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar is recommended while using this medicine.

Even if you feel well or your sugar levels appear normal, do not stop the treatment without consulting your doctor, as this could cause blood sugar to rise and increase the risk of complications. Combining the medicine with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management is essential for effective diabetes control.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience mild side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, or headache. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur if taken with other antidiabetic medications, alcohol, or if meals are skipped. Most side effects are temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern.

Precautions before use
Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this tablet. Kidney function may be monitored before and during treatment. Alcohol should be limited, as it can increase the risk of side effects.

Uses
Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Benefits
This medicine helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, which lowers the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, eye disorders, and circulation problems. In PCOS, it improves insulin sensitivity, reduces excess androgen levels, and helps restore regular ovulation and menstrual cycles. Taken consistently with diet and exercise, it supports overall metabolic and reproductive health.

How it works
Obimet SR 1gm Tablet is a biguanide class antidiabetic medicine. It reduces glucose production in the liver, slows sugar absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. In women with PCOS, it lowers insulin and androgen levels, helping to regulate periods, reduce acne and unwanted hair growth, and support weight management.

Safety advice
Alcohol should be avoided while taking this medicine. It is generally considered safe during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor, although human data are limited. Use with caution during breastfeeding; it is advised to wait until the treatment is completed and the drug is cleared from the body. Blood sugar fluctuations may affect concentration and alertness, so driving should be avoided if low or high blood sugar occurs. Patients with kidney disease should use this medicine under medical supervision and may require dose adjustments. Severe kidney disease is a contraindication. Patients with liver disease can generally use it safely, but consult your doctor for guidance.

Missed dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
