Diabex, Metformin is a widely prescribed medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Mechanism of Action
Metformin works by improving the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin, a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar (glucose) into cells. It decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. Metformin also increases the body's response to insulin, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
Common Uses
Type 2 Diabetes Management: Mainly used to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes: Sometimes prescribed for people with prediabetes to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
Dosage Instructions
The starting dose of metformin for adults is usually 500 mg taken twice a day or 850 mg once a day, with or without food. The dosage can be increased gradually to reduce the risk of side effects. The maximum daily dose is typically 2000-2500 mg. It's important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage.
Benefits
Lowers Blood Sugar: Effective in reducing high blood sugar levels.
Reduces Risk of Diabetes Complications: Helps in preventing complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease and kidney damage.
May Aid in Weight Management: Sometimes assists in weight loss or management, although it's not a weight loss drug.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset. A rare but serious side effect is lactic acidosis, a build-up of lactic acid in the blood, more likely in patients with kidney problems.
Additional Information
Metformin is often prescribed in combination with diet and exercise. It's also used in combination with other diabetes medications when necessary.
