Ibformin 500mg Tablet used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a group of anti-diabetic medicines called biguanides. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disorder that affects the way our body processes glucose. Ibformin 500mg Tablet is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone have not been enough to control the blood glucose levels.
Ibformin 500mg Tablet contains Metformin, which works by decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed from the food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Thereby, Ibformin 500mg Tablet helps control the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood.
In some cases, Ibformin 500mg Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually overtime. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.
Do not take Ibformin 500mg Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ibformin 500mg Tablet is safe for use in children above 10 years if prescribed by the doctor. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
Ibformin 500mg Tablet plays a vital role in managing diabetes and achieving good control of blood sugar levels by delaying the absorption of sugar and increasing insulin sensitivity in the body. Ibformin 500mg Tablet does not cause a sudden lowering of the blood glucose level or cause significant hypoglycaemia. Unlike other anti-diabetic therapies like sulfonylureas or insulin, Ibformin 500mg Tablet does not cause weight gain but may cause modest weight loss. In the prediabetic condition, Ibformin 500mg Tablet is the only recommended treatment available. Ibformin 500mg Tablet also helps to prevent serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy), blindness (diabetic retinopathy), loss of sensation in your hands and feet (diabetic neuropathy) or even loss of foot. Ibformin 500mg Tablet also helps to reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
Do not take Ibformin 500mg Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components or if you have severe kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, or metabolic acidosis. Inform the doctor if you have dehydration, infections, liver or kidney problems, uncontrolled diabetes, heart problems, or low levels of vitamin B12. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of lactic acidosis (vomiting, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, severe tiredness, difficulty breathing, and reduced body temperature and heartbeat) or dehydration (severe vomiting, diarrhoea, exposure to heat, fever or if you drink less fluid than normal).
Drug-Drug Interactions: Inform the doctor if you are taking anti-diabetic (insulin glargine), diuretic (furosemide), or thyroid hormone (levothyroxine).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform the doctor if you have lactic acidosis, liver or kidney problems, low blood glucose or vitamin B12 levels.
Type 2 diabetes: It is a chronic or lifelong disease that keeps the body away from properly utilizing insulin. Hence, people affected with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin. Middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. In some cases, there may be weight gain, while in rare cases, weight loss may be observed. The complications of type 2 diabetes also include neuropathy (nerve problems), nephropathy (kidney problems), retinopathy (damaged retina of eyes or blindness), loss of limbs, sexual dysfunction, and increased chance of heart attack or stroke.
