METFORMIN FULL DESCRIPTION

Metformin is used alone or with other medications, including insulin, to treat type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes. Metformin helps to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. It decreases the amount of glucose you absorb from your food and the amount of glucose made by your liver.

Continue to take metformin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking metformin without talking to your doctor.
