Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications called ‘anti-diabetic’ used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than normal. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (metabolizes glucose), or if produced, it cannot function properly in the body.
Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines, namely: Metformin and Methylcobalamin. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. It may deplete vitamin B12 levels. So, it is taken with methylcobalamin that can treat vitamin B12 deficiency. Thus, Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's does not cause a sudden lowering of the blood glucose level or significant hypoglycemia.
You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. You may experience side-effects of such as changes in taste, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (falling sick), diarrhoea, headache, anorexia (loss of appetite), and sweating. Inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or worsen.

Before taking Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's, inform your doctor if you have liver problems, severe kidney failure, uncontrolled diabetes, dehydration due to severe diarrhoea or vomiting, severe infections, acute heart failure or heart attack, and alcoholism.

Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines, namely: Metformin and Methylcobalamin. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake.

Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's may cause a rare and serious side-effect ‘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. It should be used with caution in patients with heart diseases as it increases the risk of heart failure. If you have dehydration (severe loss of body fluids) due to severe vomiting, diarrhoea, exposure to heat, or fever, stop taking Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's and immediately seek medical attention. Formin Plus 1000 Tablet 10's may cause electrolyte imbalance, so taking this medicine during dehydration can worsen the condition.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: It is a chronic or lifelong disease that keeps the body away from properly utilizing insulin. Hence, people affected with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or there is resistance to the action of insulin. Middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. In some cases, there may be weight gain while in rare cases weight loss may be observed. The complication of type 2 diabetes also includes neuropathy (nerve problems), nephropathy (kidney problems), and retinopathy (damaged retina of eyes or blindness), loss of limbs, sexual dysfunction, and increase the chance of heart attack or stroke.
