Metformin Tablets

Metformin, sold under the brand name Glucophage and others, is the primary first-line medication for treating type 2 diabetes, particularly in overweight individuals. Doctors also prescribe it for managing polycystic ovary syndrome. Metformin works by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which helps control high blood sugar levels. This medication aids in preventing complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, limb loss, and sexual dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes.
