HOW IDAMAN METFORMIN TABLET WORKS Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that makes your body take in glucose (sugar) from the blood. Your body uses glucose to produce energy or stores it for future use. If you have diabetes, your pancreas does not make enough insulin or your body is not able to use properly the insulin it produces. This leads to a high level of glucose in your blood. Idaman Metformin Tablet helps to lower your blood glucose to as normal a level as possible. If you are an overweight adult, taking this medicine over a long period of time also helps to lower the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

IDAMAN PHARMA MANUFACTURING IDAMAN METFORMIN TABLET 500MG DESCRIPTION A white to off-white, round, biconvex and film-coated tablet with breakline on one side COMPOSITION Each tablet contains Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg. PHARMACODYNAMICS Pharmacotherapeutic group: Blood glucose lowering drugs. Biguanides; ATC code: A10BA02 Mechanism of action Metformin is a biguanide with antihyperglycaemic effects, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. It does not stimulate insulin secretion and therefore does not produce hypoglycaemia. Metformin may act via 3 mechanisms: (1) reduction of hepatic glucose production by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. (2) in muscle, by increasing insulin sensitivity, improving peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. (3) and delay of intestinal glucose absorption. Metformin stimulates intracellular glycogen synthesis by acting on glycogen synthase. Metformin increases the transport capacity of all types of membrane glucose transporters (GLUTs) known to date. Pharmacodynamic effects Based on published clinical data, use of metformin was associated with either a stable body weight or modest weight loss. In humans, independently of its action on glycaemia, metformin has favourable effects on lipid metabolism. Metformin reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels at therapeutic doses. Clinical efficacy: The published prospective randomised study (UKPDS) has established the long-term benefit of intensive blood glucose control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Analysis of the results for overweight patients treated with metformin after failure of diet alone showed a significant reduction of the absolute risk for: • diabetes-related complication in the metformin group (29.8 events/1000 patient-years) versus diet alone (43.3 events/1000 patient-years), and versus the combined sulfonylurea and insulin monotherapy groups (40.1 events/1000 patient-years); • diabetes-related mortality: metformin (7.5 events/1000 patient-years), diet alone (12.7 Прочитать полный документ
