What Are the Side Effects of Metformin HC?
Physicians prescribe Metformin HC (metformin hydrochloride) as a treatment for sugar diabetes (diabetes mellitus) classified as Type 2 diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, pancreatic insulin fails to deliver sugar into cells where it’s needed. Mayo Clinic staff say that when Metformin HC is prescribed, the medication can be balanced with diet and exercise for the right therapeutic plan of treatment. Metformin HC may lose its effectiveness in time and is not effective with Type 1 diabetes, in which the patient is insulin dependent because the pancreas cannot produce insulin.
