Frequently asked questions
Does PPG 0.3 Tablet cause weight loss?
There is limited evidence suggesting that standard doses of PPG 0.3 Tablet do not directly lead to significant weight loss. However, very high doses of this medication can affect food absorption, potentially contributing to weight loss. This medicine is not FDA-approved for the treatment of obesity. It is crucial to consult your doctor before starting this medication, as it's not intended for weight management.
How should you take PPG 0.3 Tablet?
PPG 0.3 Tablet is typically taken orally three times daily immediately before each meal. It may be combined with a controlled diet plan. However, if PPG 0.3 Tablet alone doesn't provide sufficient blood sugar control, it may be used in conjunction with a proper diet and other antidiabetic medications. Your doctor might adjust your dosage based on your individual response to treatment.
