Metformin hydrochloride (Matofin XR) 500 mg is a medication used to control high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It works by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. The extended-release (XR) form of the medication delivers the drug slowly over time for more consistent blood sugar control.
People who are using Matofin XR 500 mg should take it as prescribed by their healthcare provider. The medication should be taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and headache. It is important to continue taking the medication as directed, even if symptoms improve.
Individuals who are taking Matofin XR 500 mg should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and report any significant changes to their healthcare provider. They should also inform their doctor if they experience any symptoms of high blood sugar, such as increased thirst or urination, blurred vision, or fatigue. In some cases, the medication may cause a drop in blood sugar levels, so it is important to monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia as well, such as shakiness, sweating, and confusion.
Matofin XR 500 mg is not recommended for use in individuals with kidney disease or liver disease. It is important to discuss any pre-existing health conditions with a healthcare provider before starting this medication.
