Metformin HCL 500 mg is a medication commonly prescribed to manage Type-2 diabetes. As an oral antidiabetic drug, it belongs to the biguanide class and works by improving the body's response to insulin. Metformin helps lower blood glucose levels by reducing the production of glucose in the liver and increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. It is often a first-line treatment for individuals with Type-2 diabetes, especially when lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to control blood sugar levels. Additionally, metformin may be used in combination with other antidiabetic medications. Its role in improving insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar, and contributing to weight management makes metformin hydrochloride 500mg a valuable tool in the comprehensive management of Type-2 diabetes.
