✅ Product Benefits

1. Convenient once-daily evening dosing
   Extended-release formulation taken with the evening meal ensures steady plasma levels without crushing or chewing .

2. Effective glycemic control
   Reduces hepatic glucose output, delays intestinal absorption, and enhances insulin sensitivity—proven glucose-lowering benefits .

3. Improved gastrointestinal tolerability
   ER tablets reduce peak-related GI side effects like nausea and diarrhea compared to immediate-release forms 

4. Weight neutral or modest weight loss
   Unlike many other anti-diabetic agents, metformin doesn't typically cause weight gain and may promote modest weight reduction .

5. Flexible titration up to 2000 mg/day
   Can be increased weekly in 500 mg doses (max 2000 mg once daily); if needed, switch to 1000 mg twice daily 

6. Broadly indicated and multi-agent compatible
   Suitable for monotherapy or in combination with insulin or other antidiabetic agents; also indicated for use in adolescents (10+ years) 

7. Safe in renal impairment (eGFR ≥45 mL/min)
   Use with caution and avoid initiation if eGFR <30 mL/min due to rare risk of lactic acidosis .

8. Affordable & readily available
   Approximately ৳9 per tablet (strip of 6 around ৳54), stocked across pharmacies and online channels in Bangladesh
