My wife and I have been prescribed the above for diabetes type 2. Each film-coated tablet contains: Metformin Hydrochloride BP 500mg imported from a Cyprus manufacturer,
Can we feel assured that these tablets have the right effect for us, please?

Metformin is the drug usually prescribed at the start of diabetes - but it is difficult to say if it is right for you, some people take it and have only benefits, some have dreadful troubles. Read the leaflet enclosed with the tablets.
I took Metformin with Atorvastatin for a few weeks and went through Hell - but that is an extreme reaction.

Would you care to share how you were diagnosed and the blood glucose readings that were used?
Makes it easier to see how "bad" your situation is.

Oh- that was your first message, so welcome to the forum. There is a huge amount of information here, so browse ad lib. Have you been diagnosed for long, the pair of you - and do you follow a low carb diet? (bit of a hobby horse for me - but it works well)

If they were prescribed by a qualified medical professional, then I am surprised you think anybody on this forum is able to provide a better assurance.

If you have concerns about your prescribed medication it is better to talk to your HCP.
