Metformin is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain. It has a low risk of developing low blood sugar. High blood lactic acid level is a concern if the drug is prescribed inappropriately and in overly large doses. It should not be used in those withliver disease or kidney problems. While no clear harm comes from use during pregnancy, insulin is generally preferred for gestational diabetes. Metformin is in the biguanide class. It works by decreasing glucose production by the liver and increasing the insulin sensitivity of body tissues.
Application:
Metformin hydrochloride is clinically used for the treatment of type diabetes patients who are not satisfied with simple diet control, especially patients with obesity and hyperinsulinemia, usage of this drug not only displays no hypoglycemic effect, but also there may be weight loss and hyperinsulinemia effect. For some patients with poor efficacy of sulfonylurea ,it may be effective, if it is used with hypoglycemic drugs including sulfonylurea, intestinal glucosidase inhibitors or thiazolidinediones, the results are better than used alone. It can also be used in patients with insulin therapy to reduce the amount of insulin.
