Metformin Hydrochloride

Function and Efficacy

This product is a hypoglycemic drug. This product can reduce fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, and HbAlc can be reduced by 1% to 2%. The mechanism of this product in lowering blood sugar may be: 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 the uptake of glucose by intestinal wall cells. 5. Inhibit the biosynthesis and storage of cholesterol and reduce blood triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. Unlike the effect of insulin, this product has no effect on promoting fat synthesis and no obvious hypoglycemic effect on normal people. It generally does not cause hypoglycemia when used alone for type 2 diabetes.
