4. Mechanism of Action
ENDOFORMIN SR 500 TABLET contains Metformin, which works by reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues. This helps the body utilize glucose more effectively, lowering blood sugar levels. The sustained-release formulation ensures a gradual release of the drug into the bloodstream over 24 hours, providing steady control of blood glucose.

 – Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset are common, especially when starting treatment.
 – Lactic Acidosis: A rare but serious side effect, characterized by muscle pain, breathing difficulties, and dizziness.
 – Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Long-term use of Metformin can decrease the absorption of Vitamin B12.
 – Fatigue: Some individuals may feel more tired or weak, particularly when blood sugar levels are not properly controlled.

 
6. Precautions
Before taking ENDOFORMIN SR 500 TABS, inform your healthcare provider if:

 – You have kidney or liver disease, as Metformin can affect renal and hepatic function.
 – You are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of Metformin during pregnancy is not fully established.
