How gluformin tablet works
Gluformin 500 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide). It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying the absorption of sugar (glucose) from the intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. In PCOS, Gluformin 500 Tablet improves insulin sensitivity, lowering insulin and androgen levels and restoring ovulation and menstrual regularity. Reducing insulin resistance helps manage acne, excess hair growth, weight, and diabetes risk, making it effective for both metabolic and reproductive symptoms.
