¿Qué es la metformina?
La metformina es el medicamento más recetado para el manejo de la resistencia a la insulina, prediabetes, diabetes gestacional y diabetes tipo 2. También se puede recetar metformina para síndrome de ovario poliquistico y bajar de peso. Se lleva utilizando más de 50 años y tiene muchos estudios sobre su eficacia, seguridad y efectos a largo plazo. Es uno de los medicamentos más seguros ya que por sí mismo es muy raro que causa una hipoglucemia (bajón de azúcar en sangre).

¿Cómo actúa la metformina en el cuerpo?
Su principal función va a ser disminuir la glucosa en sangre con tres mecanismos diferentes:

- Disminuye la cantidad de glucosa que produce y libera el hígado hacia el torrente sanguíneo.
- Disminuye la absorción de glucosa en el intestino.
- Sensibiliza a las células (principalmente musculares) a la insulina.

Como ves, los 3 mecanismos funcionan por un lado disminuyendo la cantidad de glucosa que va a entrar a la sangre y aprovechando la insulina que tu cuerpo ya secreta.

Beneficios adicionales de la metformina
- Se ha visto un incremento en la perdida de peso y de % de grasa.
- Ayuda a disminuir los niveles de triglicéridos en sangre cuando estos se encuentran elevados.
- Bajo costo y alta disponibilidad.

Efectos secundarios de la metformina
En realidad la metformina es un medicamento bastante gentil. Sus efectos secundarios son leves y generalmente bien tolerados. Los efectos secundarios principales están asociados a síntomas gastrointestinales como:
- Diarrea
- Gases
- Nausea
- Dolor abdominal

Metformina antes o después de los alimentos
Para reducir los efectos secundarios gastrointestinales, se recomienda tomar la metformina durante o después de los alimentos.

Dosis escalonada
Si los síntomas aún persisten, puedes consultar con tu especialista cómo tomar la metformina de forma escalonada. Esto quiere decir empezar con una dosis más baja e ir incrementandola poco a poco. Probablemente si para este momento los síntomas aún persisten, lo ideal será cambiar de medicamento.

Uso a largo plazo de metformina
El consumo a largo plazo de metformina esta asociado a deficiencia de Vitamina B12. Esto pasa ya que se disminuye la absoricón de esta vitamina en el intestino. Es importante orientarte para ver en que momento requieres comenzar con suplementación de esta vitamina.

Insuficiencia renal y metformina
Aunque la metformina por si misma no causa daño renal, en pacientes que presentan daño, se aumenta el riesgo de generar acidosis láctica. La acidosis láctica es una emergencia médica que requiere de atención inmediata y por lo mismo la metformina está contraindicada en pacientes que tengan daño renal.

Presentaciones en México
- 500 mg.
- 850 mg.
- 1000 mg.

Tambien se pueden encontrar de liberación inmediata y prolongada.

¿Cómo se mi dosis de metformina?
La dosis y frecuencia varían entre persona y persona. Inclusive una misma persona probablemente va a ir ajustando su dosis a traves del tiempo. Lo que funciona a una persona puede no funcionarle o inclusive perjudicarle a otra. Consulta con tu especialista para recibir las recomendaciones ideales para tu caso.

Diabetes Medication Side Effects: Metformin, Sulfonylurea & Insulin – Dr.Berg Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

I explain the side effects of diabetes medications.

Timestamps:
0:00 What effects do diabetes medications have on your body?
0:56 There are 3 different effects that certain medications create in this scenario
3:00 Metformin increases the sensitivity of your insulin receptors

In this video, I explain the effects of type 2 diabetes medications on your body.

Your pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which travels through your blood. Insulin responds to carbohydrates; less so to protein. Its goal is to lower your blood sugar.

Insulin is received by what’s called an insulin receptor. As I said, one goal is to lower blood sugar. Another is to store glycogen (sugar), cholesterol, or fat.

There are 3 different effects these medications create in this scenario. One is that they increase the production of insulin. One popular medication is called sulfonylurea, but it works only for type 2 diabetes, not type 1. The problem with this medication is that it’s also used as an herbicide. It increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

Another mechanism works on the insulin receptor. People with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance, meaning their receptors aren’t taking in insulin very well. This creates a failure in the feedback loop to the body, which ends up getting the message to produce more and more insulin. The more the receptor is resistant, the more insulin the pancreas is going to produce.

If you’re taking a sulfonylurea, which increases insulin production, your insulin levels are going to get quite high.

Metformin increases the sensitivity of your receptors; that is, they can receive more insulin. A black label on metformin warns of the dangers of a condition called lactic acidosis, a serious condition that causes your pH to go way up. A natural remedy for this condition is vitamin B1. The problem is that metformin depletes B1.

Many type 2 diabetics are given insulin. The problem is that the pancreas is already producing too much insulin because of insulin resistance. So too much insulin is being dumped into the system for the purpose of lowering blood sugar. And it comes with the risk of cardiovascular disease, weight gain, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). With hypoglycemia, you become irritable and shaky and want to eat carbs to raise your blood sugar back up, starting the whole cycle over again.

Now you can see the effects of diabetes medications on your body.

How To Take Metformin Without Side Effects | When Is The Best Time To Take Metformin | How To Build Up Metformin | Metformin 500mg Side Effects Constipation Diarrhea

Hey guys! This weeks video is about metformin and the importance of slowly building up your dose to the prescribed dose to help reduce it's side effects when you're first started on it.

Metformin is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes and sometimes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Type 2 diabetes is an illness where the body doesn't make enough insulin, or the insulin that it makes doesn't work properly. This can cause high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). PCOS is a condition that affects how the ovaries work.

KEY FACTS:
• Metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar your liver releases into your blood. It also makes your body respond better to insulin. Insulin is the hormone that controls the level of sugar in your blood.
• It's best to take metformin with a meal to reduce the side effects.
• The most common side effects are feeling sick, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach ache and going off your food.
• Metformin does not cause weight gain (unlike some other diabetes medicines).
• Metformin may also be called by the brand names Bolamyn, Diagemet, Glucient, Glucophage, and Metabet.

HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE:
It's best to take metformin tablets with a meal to reduce the side effects. Swallow your metformin tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not chew them.

Metformin tablets come in different strengths. Your doctor will tell you how many tablets to take a day.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF METFORMIN:
Metformin comes as 2 different types of tablet - standard-release tablets and slow-release tablets.

Standard-release tablets release metformin into your body quickly. You may need to take them several times a day depending on your dose.

Slow-release tablets dissolve slowly so you don't have to take them as often.

Your doctor or pharmacist will explain what type of metformin tablets you are on and how to take them.

Metformin is also available as a liquid for children and people who find it difficult to swallow tablets. Liquid metformin is called by the brand name Riomet.

WILL MY DOSE GO UP OR DOWN:
Your doctor will check your blood sugar levels regularly and may change your dose of metformin if necessary.

When you first start taking metformin standard-release tablets you will be advised to increase the dose slowly. This reduces the chances of getting side effects.

(See video for explanation on how to build up dose slowly)

If you find you can't tolerate the side effects of standard-release metformin, your doctor may suggest switching to slow-release tablets.

HOW TO COPE WITH SIDE EFFECTS:
• Feeling sick - take metformin with food to reduce the chances of feeling sick - it may also help to slowly increase your dose over several weeks.
• Diarrhoea or vomiting - have small but frequent sips of water. It may also help to take oral rehydration solutions which you can buy from a pharmacy or supermarket to prevent dehydration. Don't take any other medicines to treat diarrhoea or vomiting without speaking to a pharmacist or doctor.
• Metallic taste in the mouth - if you find that metformin is giving you a metallic taste in the mouth, try chewing sugar-free gum.

If you find you are suffering from side effects talk to your doctor about switching to a slow-release tablet.
