Metformin (Glucophage®, Fortamet®, Riomet®) is an anti-diabetic drug from the biguanide class (its other members are the withdrawn agents phenformin and buformin).
Uses
The main use for metformin is for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, especially when it is concomitant with obesity and insulin resistance.
It is also being used increasingly in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, two other diseases that feature insulin resistance; these indications are still considered experimental.
