Overdose

Missed a Dose

• Corectia M tablet contains two agents that improve insulin sensitivity through complementary mechanisms.
• Metformin reduces glucose production by the liver, decreases intestinal glucose absorption, and increases the body's response to insulin. This lowers circulating insulin levels.
• Myo-inositol acts as a second messenger in insulin signalling inside the cell. In women with PCOS, improving this signalling pathway supports ovarian function and follicular development.
• Together, they help reduce elevated insulin levels and reduce excess ovarian androgen production. This supports hormonal balance, more regular menstrual cycles, and ovulation.
