Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Reduces Hepatic Glucose Production | Inhibits the liver's production of glucose, which is the major source of high blood sugar, particularly fasting blood sugar levels. |
| Improves Insulin Sensitivity | Helps the body's cells (especially muscle and fat) respond better to insulin, allowing for more efficient uptake and utilization of glucose. |
| Low Risk of Hypoglycemia | Unlike sulfonylureas, Metformin's action is glucose-dependent and does not directly stimulate the pancreas to release insulin, resulting in a very low risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used alone. |
| Potential Cardiovascular Benefits | Studies suggest Metformin use may be associated with long-term cardiovascular protective effects in diabetic patients. |
| Weight Neutrality | Unlike many other anti-diabetic medications, Metformin does not typically cause weight gain and may even lead to modest weight loss. |
⚠️ Critical Safety Note: Metformin Component
Prescription Required: This medication must be taken strictly as prescribed.
Lactic Acidosis (Black Box Warning): Metformin carries a rare but serious risk of Lactic Acidosis (a buildup of lactic acid in the blood), which is a medical emergency. The risk is significantly higher in patients with poor kidney function, dehydration, or excessive alcohol intake. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unusual muscle pain, difficulty breathing, or severe stomach pain.
Administration: Typically taken with meals to minimize common gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and diarrhea.
