Q. Can this medicine be used if blood sugar levels are only slightly high?
Yes, it may be prescribed even in early stages or prediabetes to improve insulin sensitivity and prevent progression, especially when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.
Q. Do I need to continue Metatime 500mg Tablet XR long-term?
Both diabetes and PCOS are long-term conditions. Metatime 500mg Tablet XR is often used for an extended period, but the duration depends on your response, goals, and your doctor’s advice.
