Metformin hcl 500 mg is primarily used to manage Type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. It works by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. This medication can be used alone or with other diabetes drugs to achieve optimal blood glucose control. In addition to diabetes management, metformin is sometimes prescribed to address polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to aid in weight management for some patients.
