Phenformin Hydrochloride is an oral antidiabetic medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of drugs known as biguanides, which work by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving the body's response to insulin.
The extended-release formulation of Phenformin Hydrochloride allows for a slower release of the medication into the body, providing a more consistent and prolonged effect. This can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
It is important to note that Phenformin Hydrochloride has been withdrawn from the market in many countries due to safety concerns. It has been associated with a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis, which is a buildup of lactic acid in the blood. Lactic acidosis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
