Metformin(Cat No.:R039773)is a widely used oral medication for managing type 2 diabetes. It works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving peripheral glucose uptake, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Metformin is often the first-line treatment due to its efficacy, safety profile, and benefits in weight management. Additionally, it has been associated with cardiovascular protection and potential anti-aging effects. Its role in reducing the risk of diabetes complications makes it a cornerstone therapy in diabetes management, contributing significantly to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
