No, metformin is not an antibiotic; it is an oral medication primarily used to manage type 2 Diabetes. It works by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose production in the liver. Antibiotics, on the other hand, are drugs that fight bacterial infections. Metformin is classified as a biguanide and has different mechanisms and uses compared to antibiotics.

Is metformin er the same as 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.
