About Ben Q Met LS Tablet

Ben Q Met LS Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘antidiabetic agents’ used in treating Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Ben Q Met LS Tablet contains Metformin and Glibenclamide. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Glibenclamide works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood.

Take Ben Q Met LS Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Ben Q Met LS Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition.

Drug Warnings

Do not take Ben Q Met LS Tablet if you are allergic to metformin, glibenclamide or other contents.

It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor if you have any severe liver or kidney problems, as their normal functioning is required to eliminate excess lactic acid from the body. Do not consume excess alcohol, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis. Inform your doctor if you have any hormonal problems, infectious diseases, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase - G6PD deficiency (an inherited condition that causes the breakdown of red blood cells).
