Use
Metformin, N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidicdiamide hydrochloride (Glucophage), is a bisguanidine.This class of agents is capable of reducing sugar absorptionfrom the gastrointestinal tract. Also, they can decrease gluconeogenesiswhile increasing glucose uptake by muscles andfat cells. These effects, in turn, lead to lower blood glucoselevels. Unlike the sulfonylureas, these are not hypoglycemicagents but rather can act as antihyperglycemics. This differencein nomenclature is caused by the inability of these agentsto stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Often,metformin is coadministered with the nonsulfonylureas to improvethe efficacy of those agents.
