Ingredients
Active Ingredients: Tretinoin (400mg), glyburide (300mg), ribavirin (0.1mg), coumarin (50mg), clopidogrel (30mg) (all ingredients except colouring for renal function and other)
The active ingredient in metformin is glyburide. It works by blocking the production of the hormone which is the key to controlling glucose (your hormone levels). By doing so, it reduces the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream which may result in diabetes-like symptoms.
To remove glyburide from your body, continue with your medical treatment. In some cases, it may reduce your blood sugar levels, so it’s important to take metformin slowly to maintain your control over your blood sugar levels.
Warnings
Your doctor may refuse to prescribe metformin if they have not seen any changes in your condition. Your risk of side effects may be increased if you have certain medical conditions.
