Metformin is an oral medication that improves blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is often the first medication prescribed for managing diabetes and works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity.

Benefits of Metformin

  • It helps lower blood sugar levels when combined with diet and exercise.
  • It has a low risk of causing low blood sugar compared to some other diabetes medications.
  • It does not typically cause weight gain and may help with weight loss in some patients.
  • It provides cardiovascular benefits and may reduce the risk of certain complications of diabetes.

Dosage:

  • The typical starting dose is 500 mg once or twice daily.
  • Take Metformin with meals to reduce stomach upset.
  • Your doctor may gradually increase the dose to improve blood sugar control, with a maximum dose of 2000-2500 mg daily.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip it and resume your regular schedule.

Warnings and Precautions:

  • It is a rare but serious condition that can occur due to metformin accumulation. Symptoms include muscle pain, difficulty breathing, and stomach pain. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms appear.
  • Regularly monitor kidney function, as Metformin is contraindicated in severe renal impairment.
  • Long-term use may lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. Monitor levels regularly.
  • Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Usage Instructions:

  • Take Metformin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions for dose adjustments based on your blood sugar levels and kidney function.

Storage Information:

  • Store Metformin at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Common Side Effects:

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal bloating
