Overview
Pharmaniaga Glumet XR 750mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Metformin hydrochloride 750mg per tablet, in extended-release form. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Take Glumet XR 750mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily with the evening meal. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, split, or chew it, as breaking the tablet can disrupt the extended-release matrix and increase the risk of side effects. If you are switching from another metformin product, your doctor will advise the correct starting dose and timing for the change. Do not stop or adjust your dose on your own, even if your blood glucose readings appear normal, as this can affect long-term diabetes control.
Dosage
The dose of Glumet XR 750mg Tablet is individualised by your prescribing doctor based on your blood glucose control, kidney function, and response to treatment, and should never be self-adjusted. Treatment is often started at a lower dose and increased gradually over several weeks to reduce gastrointestinal side effects, with your doctor confirming the appropriate maintenance dose at follow-up visits. Regular monitoring of blood glucose, HbA1c, and kidney function is required while you are taking this medicine. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time of your next dose; do not take a double dose to make up for the one missed.
Shelf Life
Please refer to the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton, and do not use Glumet XR 750mg Tablet beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store Glumet XR 750mg Tablet below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Keep tablets in their original blister packaging until you are ready to take them.

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Pharmaniaga Glumet XR 750mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Pharmaniaga Glumet XR 750mg Tablet registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
