    Description

    Metformin is an antidiabetic drug and belongs to the biguanide group of oral hypoglycemics. This compound is the first-line drug in the management of type 2 diabetes. Along with lowering blood glucose levels, it also lowers cholesterol and harmful lipid levels in the body. However, the most significant advantage of this drug over other oral hypoglycemics is that it is not associated with weight gain.
