Used For:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Helps control blood sugar levels, particularly in overweight patients, and is often used alongside diet and exercise. The extended-release form allows for more gradual absorption, which may reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

  • Less Common:
    • Lactic acidosis (rare but serious; risk increases with kidney impairment)
    • Vitamin B12 deficiency (with long-term use)

Precautions:

  • Kidney Function: Regular monitoring is essential to avoid the risk of lactic acidosis.
  • Alcohol: Limit intake, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and affect blood sugar levels.
  • Surgery/Procedures: May need to be temporarily discontinued before certain medical procedures.
