Okamet-500 Tablet contains Metformin (500 MG), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Reduces Glucose Production: Metformin decreases glucose production in your liver, which in turn reduces the amount of glucose entering your bloodstream.

• Slows Down Glucose Absorption: This component also slows down the absorption of glucose from your intestines. This action helps prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar levels after meals.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin increases your body's sensitivity to insulin, allowing cells to use glucose more effectively.
