Metformin lowers the production and absorption of sugar in your body and allows better use of existing insulin.

Metformin is rapidly distributed following absorption and does not bind to plasma proteins. No metabolites or conjugates of metformin have been identified. The absence of liver metabolism clearly differentiates the pharmacokinetics of metformin from that of other biguanides, such as phenformin.The reported pharmacokinetic parameters of voglibose with metformin are Cmax corresponds to 1.38 mcg/ml while AUC is 8.17 mcg. h/ml and tmax is of 2.5 hours.
