PHARMACOLOGY
Metformin is an
oral biguanide hypoglycaemic agent. It causes an increased
peripheral uptake of glucose
by increasing
the biological efficiency of available exogenous or endogenous insulin.
The mode of action of metformin may be linked to an increase
of insulin sensitivity. It does not stimulate
insulin release but does require the presence of insulin to
exert its hypoglycaemic effect. Possible
mechanisms of action include inhibition of gluconeogenesis in the
liver, delay in glucose absorption from
the gastrointestinal tract and an increase in peripheral uptake
of glucose.
