Post by @SweetTea (Patient)Hey there, Dr. Sunny! Ive been prescribed Metformin 365 Holland recently but Im a bit nervous about starting it. Can you explain how this medication works?
Reply by @SunnyDays (Doctor)Of course, @SweetTea! Metformin is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It does this by lowering the amount of glucose absorbed from food and reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels more stable throughout the day.
Post by @TechGuru (Patient)Hi, Dr. Sunny! Ive heard that Metformin can help with weight loss too. Is this true?
Reply by @SunnyDays (Doctor)Hello @TechGuru! While Metformin isn't primarily used for weight loss, it often does result in slight weight reduction as a side effect. This is because it helps to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose production in the liver, which can lead to fewer spikes in blood sugar and less storage of excess calories as fat.

Post by @BookWorm (Patient)Dr. Sunny, I read about something called lactic acidosis. Is this related to Metformin?
Reply by @SunnyDays (Doctor)Hi @BookWorm! Lactic acidosis is an extremely rare but serious side effect of metformin. Its more likely in people with kidney problems or heart failure, and it occurs when lactic acid builds up faster than the body can break it down. If you experience symptoms like muscle pain, rapid breathing, dizziness, or abdominal discomfort, contact your doctor immediately.
