What is metformin hydrochloride used for?

Postby lucasmiller » Tue Oct 29, 2024 7:08 am

metformin hcl 500 mg is an oral medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes. It helps control blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity, decreasing glucose production in the liver, and enhancing glucose uptake in muscle tissues. Metformin is often prescribed as a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes and may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. Additionally, it is sometimes prescribed for conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to help manage insulin resistance. Metformin is generally well-tolerated, with gastrointestinal side effects being the most common.
