Metformin Hydrochloride Extended Release Tablets

Function and Efficacy

This product is a hypoglycemic drug that can reduce fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, and can reduce HbAlc by 1% to 2%. Its mechanism of lowering blood sugar is: 1. Increase the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and increase insulin-mediated glucose utilization. 2. Increase the utilization of glucose by non-insulin-dependent tissues, such as the brain, blood cells, renal medulla, intestines, skin, etc. 3. Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis and reduce hepatic glucose output. 4. Inhibit intestinal wall cells from taking up glucose. Unlike the action of insulin, this product does not promote fat synthesis, has no obvious hypoglycemic effect on normal people, and generally does not cause hypoglycemia when used alone for type 2 diabetes. <b

Precautions

The following conditions are contraindicated: 1. Type 2 diabetes with ketoacidosis, liver and kidney dysfunction (serum creatinine exceeds 1.5mg/dl), pulmonary insufficiency, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, severe infection and trauma, major surgery, and clinical hypotension and hypoxia. 2. Diabetes with severe chronic complications (such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic fundus lesions). 3. When undergoing radiographic examination. 4. Alcoholics. 5. Patients with severe heart and lung diseases. 6. Patients with vitamin B12, folic acid and iron deficiency. 7. Patients with poor systemic condition (such as

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: Not yet clear. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Not suitable for pregnant and lactating women. Precautions for the elderly: Use with caution in elderly patients (65 years old), as the dosage should be reduced as renal function is weakened.

Drug Interactions

1. When used in combination with insulin, the hypoglycemic effect is enhanced, and the dosage should be adjusted. 2. This product can enhance the anticoagulant effect of anticoagulants (such as warfarin, etc.), which may cause bleeding tendency. 3. Cimetidine can increase the bioavailability of this product and reduce the renal clearance rate, so the dosage of this product should be reduced. 4. Furosemide increases the serum and whole blood drug concentrations of metformin, but does not change the renal clearance rate of metformin. 5. Nifedipine can increase the absorption of metformin and increase the excretion in urine, but does not affect Tmax and half-life.
