How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (metformin hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

Metformin is an antihyperglycemic agent which improves glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose.

Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.

Half-life6.2 h

How it leaves the body

Intravenous single-dose studies in normal subjects demonstrate that metformin is excreted unchanged in the urine and does not undergo hepatic metabolism (no metabolites have been identified in humans) nor biliary excretion.
