Mechanism of Action

Metformin belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic drugs. It works primarily by decreasing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. It also enhances glucose uptake and utilization, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Unlike some other antidiabetic agents, it does not stimulate insulin secretion, minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia.

Dosage & Administration

Metformin Hydrochloride should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is usually taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Dosage is individualized based on patient condition and response. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is advised.
