Metformin, Myo-Inositol

Metformin and Myo-Inositol is a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. Metformin is a biguanide that works by decreasing the amount of sugar produced in the liver and increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Myo-Inositol, a naturally occurring nutrient, has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and support the body’s natural glucose metabolism.
This combination medication is typically prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved adequate blood sugar control with metformin alone. By enhancing the effects of metformin, the combination of metformin and myo-inositol can help lower blood sugar levels more effectively, reducing the risk of complications associated with high blood sugar, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage.
It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and monitor blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication. Patients should also maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to support blood sugar management. As with any medication, potential side effects may occur, and patients should consult with their healthcare provider if they experience any adverse reactions.
