Glyciphage Tablet consists of metformin (500 mg), which works on your body in several ways:

• Decreasing Glucose Production: Metformin reduces the production of glucose in your liver.
• Slowing Glucose Absorption: It slows down the absorption of glucose from the intestines into your bloodstream.
• Enhancing Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin improves the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin, thus enhancing their ability to utilise glucose.

By addressing these processes, metformin effectively lowers blood glucose levels, a critical factor in managing diabetes and preventing serious long-term complications associated with it, like kidney damage and eye disorders.
