Metfodiab

Description

Metfodiab contains metformin, a medicine used to treat diabetes. It belongs to a group of medicinal products called biguanides.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood. Your body uses glucose to make energy or store it for future use.

If you have diabetes, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin or your body cannot fully use the insulin it produces. This leads to an increased level of glucose in the blood. Metfodiab helps reduce blood glucose to normal levels.

If you are an overweight elderly patient, long-term use of Metfodiab also helps to reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Metfodiab use is associated with stabilization of body weight or moderate weight loss.
