Uses of Robustin 1gm Tablet

Robustin 1gm Tablet is used together with diet and exercise to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.

Doctors also prescribe it in some cases of prediabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

How Robustin 1gm Tablet works

Metformin lowers the amount of sugar the liver releases into the blood and helps the body respond better to its own insulin. On its own it rarely causes low blood sugar, and it does not usually cause weight gain.

Possible side effects

Stomach side effects are common at the start and usually settle within a few weeks:

• Nausea or loss of appetite
• Diarrhoea
• Stomach pain or bloating
• A metallic taste in the mouth

Rarely, metformin can cause lactic acidosis. Get urgent medical help if you have severe vomiting, deep or fast breathing, unusual muscle pain, feeling very cold or very weak.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it with or just after meals to reduce stomach upset.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver or heart disease, or drink alcohol heavily.
• It may need to be stopped for a short time before surgery or scans that use contrast dye.
• Long-term use can lower vitamin B12 levels, so your doctor may check them.
• Keep up with regular blood sugar and kidney function tests.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
