About Eurepa MF 1 Tablet

Eurepa MF 1 Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or if the insulin is produced, it cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Eurepa MF 1 Tablet contains Repaglinide and Metformin. Repaglinide acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin acts by lowering the liver's glucose production, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's response to insulin. Together, Eurepa MF 1 Tablet helps treat type II diabetes.

In some cases, Eurepa MF 1 Tablet may cause side effects like taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually overtime. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Do not take Eurepa MF 1 Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform the doctor if you have renal impairment, metabolic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis (excess acids in your blood). Consult the doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Let the doctor know about your health conditions and medications.
