Metfornin (Glucophage) General Information

---

It is the most popular anti-diabetic drug in the United States and one of the most prescribed drugs in the country overall, with nearly 35 million prescriptions filled in 2006 for generic metformin alone.

Metfornin lowers blood glucose by helping your body make better use of the insulin produced by your pancreas.

Metfornin is indicated for:

Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, particularly in overweight patients, when dietary management and exercise alone does not result in adequate glycaemic control.

It is also used in combination therapy in insulin dependent diabetes especially if overweight.

When prescribed appropriately, Metfornin causes few adverse effects and, unlike many other anti-diabetic drugs, does not cause hypoglycemia if used alone.

Metfornin is the only anti-diabetic drug that has been proven to protect against the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. It also does not cause weight gain, and may indeed produce minor weight loss. Metfornin also modestly reduces LDL and triglyceride levels.

Metfornin is non-addictive.

As of 2008, Metfornin (Metformin) is one of only two oral anti-diabetics in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines.

Metfornin (Glucophage) Recommendations

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Metfornin exactly as directed.

Take tablets during or immediately after food. Swallow the tablets with a glass of water. Take the tablet at about the same time of each day. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.

Metfornin can be taken by children with diabetes that cannot be controlled with insulin and who is being treated in hospital. Your child's doctor will decide the dose.

Keep taking Metfornin for as long as your doctor recommends. Do not stop taking Metfornin or change the dose without checking with your doctor. Treatment is usually combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

If you forget to take Metfornin, take the missed dose as soon as you remember (with food), and then go back to taking your tablets as you would normally. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed.

Keep your tablets at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.
