About BENFORMIN TABLET

BENFORMIN 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).

BENFORMIN 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 BENFORMIN TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take BENFORMIN TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache or low blood sugar. Most of these side effects of BENFORMIN TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not consume if you are allergic to any components in the BENFORMIN TABLET. BENFORMIN TABLET is not recommended for children. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, please inform your doctor before taking BENFORMIN TABLET. BENFORMIN TABLET should be used with caution in elderly patients. Avoid alcohol consumption with BENFORMIN TABLET as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis (accumulation of lactic acid in the body). Drive only if you are alert after taking BENFORMIN TABLET.

Uses of BENFORMIN TABLET

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Directions for Use

BENFORMIN TABLET should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

BENFORMIN 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. Together BENFORMIN TABLET decreases the elevated blood sugar level after the meal along with the recommended diet and exercise.

Storage

Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.

Drug Warnings

Do not take BENFORMIN TABLET if you are allergic to metformin, glibenclamide or other contents. BENFORMIN TABLET may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (buildup of lactic acid in the blood), characterized by abdominal pain, muscle cramps, vomiting, severe fatigue, and difficulty breathing. 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).
