Metformine Cristers Pharma (metformin) is used in the management of hyperglycaemia associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. - Type 2 diabetes mellitus: improves glycaemic control and reduces HbA1c levels. - Prediabetes: helps delay progression to overt diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity. - Polycystic ovary syndrome (off‑label): may restore ovulatory cycles by reducing insulin resistance.

Metformine Cristers Pharma may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, abdominal discomfort, or dyspepsia. - Diarrhoea: watery stools occurring especially during treatment initiation. - Metallic taste: transient alteration in taste perception. - Loss of appetite: reduced desire to eat.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Lactic acidosis: a rare but potentially fatal accumulation of lactate. - Vitamin B12 deficiency: may develop with long‑term therapy. - Severe hepatic dysfunction: rare cases of liver injury. - Skin rash or hypersensitivity reactions. - Acute pancreatitis: infrequent but serious pancreatic inflammation.

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should assess patient‑specific risk factors and monitor relevant clinical parameters. - Renal function: evaluate creatinine clearance and adjust dose in renal impairment. - Hepatic function: avoid use in patients with significant liver disease. - Risk of lactic acidosis: contraindicated in conditions predisposing to hypoxia or severe infection. - Elderly patients: start at lower dose and titrate cautiously. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Metformine Cristers Pharma can interact with several medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: increases risk of lactic acidosis. - Iodinated contrast agents: may precipitate acute renal failure, requiring temporary discontinuation. - Cimetidine: can raise plasma metformin concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Beta‑blockers: may mask hypoglycaemic symptoms. - Diuretics (especially thiazides): can affect renal clearance of metformin. - Corticosteroids: may increase blood glucose, necessitating dose adjustment.
