What is Metformin?
Metformin is an oral medication that has been used for decades to help the body respond better to insulin and support blood sugar regulation. Taken as a daily tablet, it may be prescribed alongside lifestyle changes or as part of a broader metabolic health or weight-management plan. Your provider determines whether it is appropriate for you.
What are the benefits of Metformin?
Metformin is commonly used to support blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity in a simple daily tablet. Your provider will explain what to expect based on your individual treatment plan.
Metformin may be appropriate for adults who meet clinical criteria for metabolic health support, blood sugar management, or certain weight-management plans. Because it is taken as an oral tablet, it may also appeal to people who prefer a non-injectable treatment option. Your provider will determine whether it is appropriate for you.
