Bigomet 500 Mg is a tablet containing 500 Mg of Metformin, a Biguanide antihyperglycemic. It is a generic equivalent of Glucophage and is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (first-line therapy).
Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues without directly stimulating insulin secretion.
Take with meals to reduce GI side effects. Start at a low dose and titrate upward as tolerated. Extended-release formulations can be taken once daily with the evening meal.
Common side effects may include:

Quick answers for the things people most often ask before ordering.
Bigomet 500 contains 500mg metformin hydrochloride — the same active ingredient as Merck's Glucophage and Shionogi's Fortamet. Manufactured by Aristo Pharmaceuticals in India under WHO-GMP standards. Pharmacological behavior is bioequivalent to the brand. Metformin is one of the most widely studied medications in modern medicine.
Metformin's primary FDA indication is type-2 diabetes, but a large body of research has explored secondary effects — modest weight reduction, improved insulin sensitivity, potential longevity / mTOR-pathway interactions (TAME trial, others). Off-label use carries individual responsibility. We don't provide medical advice; metformin has real GI side-effects (nausea, diarrhea — usually transient) and rare but serious risks (lactic acidosis, especially with kidney impairment). Discuss with a physician before self-prescribing.
Metformin is not a controlled substance. The US FDA permits personal importation under enforcement discretion — typically interpreted as a 90-day supply. Similar windows in CA/AU/EU/UK. See our Import Legality policy and verify your country.
Direct from Aristo Pharmaceuticals' authorized export pharmacy via India Post International (registered/tracked) or DHL Express. Transit 2–3 weeks to most Western destinations. Tracking issued upon dispatch.
Card processors decline international generic-pharmacy charges. NOWPayments crypto checkout (LTC, BTC, USDT-TRC20, XMR) sidesteps that and gives you transactional privacy.
We don't ask for one. Aristo's export pharmacy dispenses on Indian regulatory authority. You are responsible for personal-import legality. Metformin is generally well-tolerated but: do not use if you have severe kidney impairment, and consult a physician before starting if you are on any medication or have any chronic condition.
