Metformin

Metformin (Fortamet, Glucophage, Glumteza, Glucophage XR, Riomet brand names) is an oral drug used alone or with other drugs to treat type 2 diabetes. It is also available as a combination drug rosiglitazone/metformin (Avandamet). Metformin allows sugar lower blood in three ways: it reduces the amount of glucose absorbed from food. It reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It increases the response of the body to insulin.Metformin does not directly reduce sugar in the blood such as insulin. Therefore, it is not appropriate for patients with diabetes type 1 do not produce any insulin. Metformin has been FDA approved in 1994 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Sufferers of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, a kidney disease or kidney disease should not use it. Or should children under the age of 10. Children aged less than 17 years should not use metformin extended-release preparation. Metformin often causes diarrhea if taken without food. Other side effects include stomach headaches, gas and bloating, pain metallic taste, headache, cough, and muscle.

If metformin is insufficient for glycemic control, patients taking metformin can also meet with hyperglycemia, with symptoms of confusion, seizures, dryness of mouth, vomiting, sweet smell breath or loss of consciousness. Anyone experiencing any of these symptoms - pain in the chest, a rash or other worrisome symptoms - a need for immediate medical care.

Rarely, metformin may cause lactic acidosis, a serious condition characterized by an accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. Lactic acidosis, if not treated, can lead to the failure of an organ and even cardiac arrest. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, muscle aches, shortness of breath and dizziness.

Although it is rare when there is no other medical problems, overdose or drug interactions, metformin may cause hypoglycemia (hypoglycemia), which is characterized by dizziness, tremors, sweating, confusion, or numbness or tingling around the mouth.

Metformin can be used on the label to help the loss of weight, polycystic ovary syndrome, gestational diabetes and HIV lipodystrophy syndrome. Metformin is usually taken twice a day, preferably with food. If a dose is missed, forgotten pill should be taken as soon as possible, unless it is almost time for the next dose. "Doubling" on drugs to make up a missed dose should be done.

People with diabetes should follow the healthy eating and exercise programs, such as recommended by their health care providers. Meals should not be ignored and alcohol should be avoided. New prescription and over-the-counter medications is not without the approval of a professional health care. In addition, diabetic patients should have regular monitoring to monitor their diabetes, including blood testing to verify their status in long-term blood sugar (A1C rates).

Metformin should be postponed for 48 hours before any dental or surgical and prior to the receipt of iodinated contrast procedures (i.e., with CT scanning). It is important for people on metformin to tell their health care providers that they take it.
