Metformin hydrochloride (_N,N_- dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride) is not chemically or pharmacologically related to any other classes of oral antihyperglycemic agents. The structural formula is as shown: Metformin hydrochloride, USP is a white crystalline compound with a molecular formula of C H N • HCl and a molecular weight of 165.63. Metformin hydrochloride is freely soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol and is practically insoluble in acetone and methylene chloride. The pK of metformin is 12.4. The pH of a 1% aqueous solution of metformin hydrochloride is 6.68. Metformin hydrochloride tablets contain 500 mg or 850 mg or 1000 mg of metformin hydrochloride. Each tablet contains the inactive ingredients hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol and povidone. Metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets contain 500 mg or 750 mg of metformin hydrochloride as the active ingredient. Metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets 500 mg and 750 mg contain the inactive ingredients glyceryl behenate, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose and povidone. SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND PERFORMANCE: Metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets comprise a monolithic hydrophilic polymer matrix system. Metformin hydrochloride is combined with a drug release-controlling polymer to form the core of the matrix. After administration fluid from the Gastro Intestinal tract (GI tract) enters the tablet causing the polymers to hydrate and swell. Due to hydration and swelling of the polymer, the size of the tablet in the stomach increases. As a result, the dosage may remain in the gastrointestinal tract for read_full_document
