Cetapin XR 500 mg Tablet 15's
Cetapin XR 500 mg Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It contains Metformin, which works by decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed from the food and the amount of glucose made by the liver.

In some cases, it may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
