Metformin (INN; trade names Glucophage, Glucophage XR, Riomet, Fortamet, Glumetza, Obimet, Dianben, Diabex, Diaformin, and others) (pronounced /mtfrmn/) is an oral anti-diabetic drug from the biguanide class. It is the first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, particularly in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function,[1][2][3] and evidence suggests it may be the best choice for people with heart failure.[4] It is also used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Metformin is the most popular anti-diabetic drug in the United States and one of the most prescribed drugs in the country overall, with more than 40 million prescriptions filled in 2008 for generic metformin alone.[5] When prescribed appropriately, metformin causes few adverse effectsthe most common is gastrointestinal upsetand, unlike many other anti-diabetic drugs, does not cause hypoglycemia if used alone. It also helps reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and may aid weight loss. As of 2009[update], metformin is one of only two oral anti-diabetics in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines (the other being glibenclamide).[6]
