Metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication used as first-line therapy for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by lowering blood glucose levels through reduced glucose production in the liver and improved insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin more effectively. Metformin also supports weight control and has a low risk of causing hypoglycemia when used alone.
