WHAT METFORMIN DOC GENERICS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
METFORMIN DOC GENERICS contains metformin, a drug used to treat
diabetes. It belongs to a
group of drugs called biguanides.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, which allows the body
to take glucose (sugar) from the
blood. The body uses glucose to generate energy or stores it for later
use.
In diabetic patients, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or
the body is unable to make
proper use of the insulin produced. This leads to an excessive
increase in blood glucose levels.
METFORMIN DOC GENERICS
helps to reduce blood glucose levels to values as close to normal as
possible.
In overweight adults, long-term use of METFORMIN DOC GENERICS
also reduces the risk of
diabetic complications.
METFORMIN DOC GENERICS
is used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (also
known as "insulin-dependent" diabetes) when dietary management and
exercise alone does not result
in adequate glycaemic control.
