  1. Uses Of Metformin Metformin is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of medications known as biguanides and is taken orally, usually once or twice daily. Metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar that your body produces and helps your body use the insulin it produces more effectively. Metformin can help control high blood sugar levels, especially when combined with lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. This can reduce the risk of long- term complications associated with diabetes, such as eye disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease. In addition to treating type 2 diabetes, metformin has been studied for other possible health benefits. For example, metformin may help improve fertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a common hormonal disorder that affects approximately 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years. Symptoms include irregular periods, infertility, weight gain, excess hair growth on the face or body (hirsutism), and acne. Research has found that taking metformin along with lifestyle modifications can improve menstrual regularity and boost fertility in women with PCOS. Studies have also suggested that metformin may have beneficial effects on aging- related diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and heart

For example, studies have suggested that metformin could be helpful for people at risk of certain cancers such as breast cancer or colorectal cancer due to its ability to reduce glucose production and its potential to slow tumor growth. It’s important to note that more research is needed before these potential uses are confirmed and incorporated into clinical practice. In conclusion, metformin is an effective medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping lower blood sugar levels when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Additionally, metformin may provide other potential health benefits beyond diabetes management including improved fertility in women with PCOS and potentially reducing the risk of certain cancers and age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s disease or heart failure. However, more research needs to be conducted before these uses are fully established.
