Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Improves Insulin Sensitivity | Increases the response of muscle and fat cells to insulin, allowing for more efficient glucose uptake and utilization by the body's tissues. |
| Reduces Liver Glucose Output | The primary mechanism is the decrease in hepatic gluconeogenesis (the liver producing glucose), which significantly lowers fasting blood sugar levels. |
| Lower Risk of Hypoglycemia | Unlike sulfonylureas, Metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion, resulting in a much lower risk of causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used as a monotherapy. |
| Cardiovascular & Weight Benefits | Associated with cardiovascular benefits and is typically weight-neutral or leads to mild weight loss, making it highly suitable for overweight patients. |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Prescription Antidiabetic
Prescription Use Only: This is a prescription medication. Do not start or stop taking Metarin without consulting your doctor.
Lactic Acidosis Risk: The most serious potential side effect is lactic acidosis, a rare but severe metabolic complication. This risk increases significantly if you have impaired kidney function (renal dysfunction) or consume excessive amounts of alcohol. Report symptoms like deep/rapid breathing, persistent nausea, or severe muscle pain immediately.
Administration: To minimize common gastrointestinal side effects (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting), it is usually advised to start at a low dose and take the tablets with or after meals.
Monitoring: Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels and kidney function regularly while you are taking this medication
