Metformin (Glucophage^®) is a prescription medication licensed to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It reduces sugar production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption into the body, and makes insulin receptors more sensitive. Several metformin products are available, including a tablet form, a liquid form, and two long-acting forms. Before using this drug, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider if you have any allergies, liver problems, or congestive heart failure.
