FAQs
What does Metforise 1000mg Tablet do exactly?
People with type 2 diabetes are not able to respond normally to the insulin made by their bodies. When this happens, the concentration of sugar/glucose increases in the blood. Metforise 1000mg Tablet acts in several ways to reduce the increased levels of sugar in blood. Metforise 1000mg Tablet decreases glucose production from the liver and decreases absorption of glucose from the intestine after taking food while improving the sensitivity of the body organs and muscles towards insulin. This helps improve the uptake of glucose from the blood. It also helps your body to respond better to the insulin it makes naturally.

Yes, Metforise 1000mg Tablet has been shown to cause weight loss in people who are overweight or obese.
