Frequently asked questions
What is Mofin G Forte Tablet?
Mofin G Forte Tablet is a combination medication containing Glibenclamide and Metformin. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults, in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

This combination is not suitable for treating type 1 DM.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, characterized by the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin. This leads to high blood glucose levels, which can cause serious complications if left untreated. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If not managed properly, type 2 diabetes can lead to long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, foot problems, and an increased risk of heart disease.
