Question 3

What is Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

Sukkarto SR is a 'prolonged-release' version of metformin used to treat Type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The sustained release mechanism allows the medicine to enter your system gradually, which is often much gentler on the digestive system than immediate-release tablets.

Question 4

What is the active ingredient in Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient in this medication is metformin hydrochloride, a well-established compound in the biguanide class of drugs used as a first-line pharmacological treatment for Type 2 diabetes.

Question 5

How does Sukkarto SR work?

Accepted Answer

Sukkarto SR works by reducing the amount of sugar produced by your liver and improving your body’s sensitivity to insulin. It also slows down the absorption of glucose from your intestines, helping to maintain a more stable blood sugar level throughout the day and night.

Question 6

How should I take Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

You should always swallow Sukkarto SR tablets whole with a glass of water, usually during or immediately after your evening meal. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets, as this destroys the slow-release mechanism.

Question 7

What is the typical dosage for Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

Dosage is personalised by your prescriber, but most adults begin with one 500mg tablet daily. Depending on your response to the treatment, your clinician may gradually increase the dose up to a maximum of 2,000mg per day.

Question 8

What are the side effects of Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

While designed to be gentler on the stomach, some users may experience mild side effects, particularly when first starting. Common effects include nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and a metallic taste in the mouth.

Question 9

How does Sukkarto SR compare to standard Metformin?

Accepted Answer

Sukkarto SR releases medication slowly, is typically taken once daily, and carries a lower risk of stomach upset. Standard Metformin is an immediate-release tablet that usually needs to be taken 2 to 3 times daily and has a higher risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

Question 10

Can Sukkarto SR cause weight loss?

Accepted Answer

While not a weight-loss drug, many patients find that Sukkarto SR is weight-neutral or may lead to a modest reduction in body weight as blood sugar levels become better managed.

Question 11

Can I drink alcohol with Sukkarto SR?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Sukkarto SR, as alcohol can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.

Question 12

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Accepted Answer

If you miss a dose, take it with your next meal unless it is almost time for your next scheduled tablet. Never take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one.
