View company portfolio →What HILOMET (Metformin) is used for
Metformin is a prescription medicine for diabetes from a group called biguanides. It lowers blood sugar (glucose) in three ways: the liver makes less sugar, the gut takes in less sugar from food, and the body uses its own insulin better. It controls diabetes but does not cure it. It comes as ordinary tablets, slow-release (extended-release) tablets, a liquid and a powder to mix with water, and it is also found in combination tablets with other diabetes medicines.
- Type 2 diabetes, usually when a healthy diet and exercise have not brought blood sugar down enough
- Type 2 diabetes together with other diabetes medicines, including insulin
- Type 2 diabetes in children aged 10 and over, under a doctor's advice
- Diabetes that starts during pregnancy (gestational diabetes)
- Symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, now also called PMOS). In some countries this is an 'off-label' use, which means it is outside the medicine's licence, but a doctor may still prescribe it if the benefits are greater than the risks
- In the UK, sometimes alongside insulin in people with type 1 diabetes
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of lactic acidosis (too much acid in the blood): being sick or stomach pain, muscle cramps, fast or deep breathing or trouble breathing, extreme tiredness, feeling very cold, or a slow heartbeat. This is rare but very serious.
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, a tight chest or throat, difficulty breathing or speaking, or an itchy, swollen or blistered rash.
- Stop taking it and contact a doctor urgently for yellow skin or yellow whites of the eyes. This can be a sign of liver problems (hepatitis). It can be harder to see on brown or black skin.
- Contact a doctor urgently if you are badly dehydrated, for example from being sick, diarrhoea, fever or heat, as this raises the risk of lactic acidosis.
