Metformin is an anti-hyperglycemic. It is known as an insulin sensitizer in that it allows for glucose to be more sensitive to the insulin that a Type 2 diabetic makes allowing for more glucose to be taken in and used by the cell.
Meformin also decreases the amount of glucose made by the liver as well as decreases the absorption of glucose in the small intestine.
what is the difference between metformin and metformin HCL
Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin HCl (hydrochloride) are not exactly the same. Metformin HCl is the active ingredient in both formulations, but Metformin ER is designed to release the medication slowly over time to help maintain consistent blood levels. This allows for once-daily dosing compared to immediate-release metformin, which is typically taken multiple times a day.
No. Metformin is used by type II diabetics for their blood sugar. I am not aware of any analgesic effect from metformin.
The "GEN" on a metformin pill indicates that the medication is a generic version of metformin. Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts and are considered bioequivalent, meaning they work the same way in the body. Metformin is commonly prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have questions about your medications.
