Pharmacological Properties
Pharmacodynamics
Metformin is a biguanide with antihyperglycemic activity. It reduces blood plasma glucose levels both in the fasting state and after meals. It does not stimulate insulin secretion and does not cause hypoglycemia through this mechanism.
Metformin acts via three pathways:
- reduces glucose production in the liver by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis;
- improves insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue, thereby enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization;
- delays intestinal glucose absorption.
Pharmacodynamic effects
Clinical studies have shown that, in addition to its hypoglycemic effect, the main action of metformin is stabilization or slight reduction in body weight.
Independent of its effect on glycemia, immediate-release metformin tablets have demonstrated a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism. This effect has been confirmed in controlled, medium- to long-term clinical trials using therapeutic doses: immediate-release metformin tablets reduce levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and triglycerides. A similar effect has not been observed with prolonged-release tablets, likely due to evening administration. This may also lead to increased triglyceride levels.
Clinical efficacy
Reduction or delay in the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) in adults was a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention or metformin in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Inclusion criteria included age ≥ 25 years, BMI [body mass index] ≥ 24 kg/m² (≥ 22 kg/m² for Asian Americans) and impaired glucose tolerance plus fasting plasma glucose levels of 95–125 mg/dL (or ≤ 125 mg/dL for American Indians). Participants were assigned to intensive lifestyle intervention, 2 × 850 mg metformin plus standard lifestyle modifications, or placebo plus standard lifestyle modifications.
Baseline characteristics of DPP participants (n = 3,234, 2.8 years) were: mean age 50.6 ± 10.7 years, fasting plasma glucose 106.5 ± 8.3 mg/dL, 2-hour plasma glucose after oral glucose load 164.6 ± 17.0 mg/dL, and BMI 34.0 ± 6.7 kg/m². Intensive lifestyle intervention and metformin significantly reduced the risk of developing diabetes compared to placebo: 58% (95% CI [confidence interval] 48–66%) and 31% (95% CI 17–43%), respectively.
The benefit of lifestyle intervention over metformin was greater in older patients.
Patients who derived the greatest benefit from metformin treatment were those aged 45 years or older with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m², baseline 2-hour glucose levels of 9.6–11.0 mmol/L, baseline HbA1c ≥ 6.0%, or those with a history of gestational diabetes.
To prevent one case of type 2 diabetes over three years in the DPP cohort, 6.9 patients needed to be treated with lifestyle intervention and 13.9 with metformin. The time to reach a cumulative incidence of diabetes of 50% was delayed by approximately three years in the metformin group compared to placebo.
The Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS) is a long-term follow-up of DPP, including more than 87% of DPP participants for extended observation.
Among DPPOS participants (n = 2,776), the cumulative incidence of diabetes at 15 years was 62% in the placebo group, 56% in the metformin group, and 55% in the lifestyle intervention group. Overall incidence rates were 7.0, 5.7, and 5.2 cases of diabetes per 100 patient-years in the placebo, metformin, and lifestyle groups, respectively. Compared to placebo, the risk of diabetes was reduced by 18% in the metformin group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.82, 95% CI 0.72–0.93; p = 0.001) and by 27% in the lifestyle group (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.65–0.83; p < 0.0001). Regarding the composite microvascular endpoint of nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, no significant differences were observed between groups. However, among participants who did not develop diabetes during DPP/DPPOS, the prevalence of microvascular complications was 28% lower than in those who developed diabetes (hazard ratio 0.72, 95% CI 0.63–0.83; p < 0.0001). There are no comparative data on the effect of metformin on macrovascular complications in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and/or impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and/or elevated HbA1c.
Known risk factors for type 2 diabetes from published literature include: Asian or African ancestry, age over 40 years, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity or overweight, family history (first-degree relative with diabetes), history of gestational diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A prospective randomized study (UKPDS) demonstrated the benefit of intensive glucose control in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes receiving immediate-release metformin hydrochloride as first-line therapy after diet failure. Analysis of outcomes in overweight patients treated with metformin hydrochloride after diet failure showed:
- significant reduction in absolute risk of any diabetes-related complication: metformin hydrochloride group (29.8 events/1000 patient-years) vs. diet-only group (43.3 events/1000 patient-years), p = 0.0023, and vs. combined therapy with sulfonylurea or insulin monotherapy groups (40.1 events/1000 patient-years), p = 0.0034;
- significant reduction in absolute risk of diabetes-related mortality: metformin hydrochloride 7.5 events/1000 patient-years vs. diet-only 12.7 events/1000 patient-years, p = 0.017;
- significant reduction in absolute risk of all-cause mortality: 13.5 events/1000 patient-years in the metformin hydrochloride group vs. 20.6 events/1000 patient-years (p = 0.011) in the diet-only group and vs. 18.9 events/1000 patient-years (p = 0.021) in the combined sulfonylurea or insulin monotherapy groups;
- significant reduction in absolute risk of myocardial infarction: metformin hydrochloride 11 events/1000 patient-years vs. diet-only 18 events/1000 patient-years (p = 0.01).
For metformin hydrochloride used as second-line therapy in combination with sulfonylurea, clinical benefit has not been demonstrated.
In type 1 diabetes, the combination of metformin hydrochloride and insulin has been used in individual patients, but the clinical benefit of this combination has not been formally established.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption. After oral administration of metformin in the form of extended-release tablets, absorption is significantly slower compared to immediate-release metformin tablets. Time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) is 7 hours (Tmax for immediate-release tablets is 2.5 hours).
At steady state, as with immediate-release tablets, maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) increase disproportionately with increasing oral dose. The AUC after a single 2000 mg oral dose of metformin hydrochloride in extended-release tablets is similar to the AUC observed after 1000 mg metformin hydrochloride in immediate-release tablets administered twice daily.
Variability in Cmax and AUC among individuals taking extended-release metformin hydrochloride tablets is comparable to that observed with immediate-release metformin hydrochloride tablets.
After administration of extended-release tablets in the fasting state, a 30% reduction in AUC was observed (Cmax and Tmax remained unchanged).
Absorption of metformin from extended-release tablets is not affected by food composition. No accumulation occurs with repeated dosing up to 2000 mg metformin hydrochloride in extended-release tablets.
Distribution. Plasma protein binding is negligible. Metformin penetrates into erythrocytes. Maximum blood concentration is lower than maximum plasma concentration and is reached approximately at the same time. Erythrocytes likely represent a secondary compartment of distribution. The mean volume of distribution (Vd) ranges from 63 to 276 L.
Metabolism. Metformin is excreted unchanged in urine. No metabolites have been identified in humans.
Elimination. Renal clearance of metformin is > 400 mL/min, indicating that metformin is eliminated by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. After oral administration, elimination half-life is approximately 6.5 hours. In renal impairment, renal clearance decreases proportionally to creatinine clearance, resulting in prolonged elimination half-life and increased plasma metformin levels.
Special patient populations: Renal impairment. Data in patients with moderate renal impairment are limited; therefore, systemic exposure to metformin in this patient group cannot be precisely assessed compared to patients with normal renal function. Dose adjustment should be based on clinical efficacy and tolerability (see section "Method of administration and dosage").
Clinical characteristics
Indications
- For reducing the risk or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus in overweight adult patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and/or impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and/or elevated HbA1c levels who have:
- a high risk of developing overt (manifest) type 2 diabetes mellitus (see section "Pharmacodynamics");
- progressive carbohydrate metabolism disorders despite lifestyle modifications over a period of 3 to 6 months.
Prescription of the medicinal product METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 should be based on risk assessment, including appropriate measures for glycemic control and evidence of high cardiovascular risk.
Lifestyle modifications should be continued alongside the initiation of metformin, except in cases where the patient is unable to implement such changes for medical reasons.
- For the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, particularly in patients with excess body weight, when diet and physical activity alone do not provide adequate glycemic control.
METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents, or concomitantly with insulin.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to metformin or to any other component of the medicinal product;
- any type of acute metabolic acidosis (e.g., lactic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis);
- diabetic precoma;
- severe renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 mL/min);
- acute conditions associated with a risk of renal function impairment, such as: dehydration, severe infections, shock;
- diseases that may lead to tissue hypoxia (especially acute conditions or exacerbations of chronic diseases): decompensated heart failure, respiratory failure, recent myocardial infarction, shock;
- hepatic impairment, acute alcohol intoxication, alcoholism.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Combinations not recommended for use
Alcohol. Alcohol intoxication is associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis, particularly in cases of fasting or adherence to a low-calorie diet, as well as in the presence of hepatic impairment.
Iodinated contrast media. Administration of metformin should be discontinued before or during radiological procedures involving iodinated contrast agents and should not be resumed earlier than 48 hours after the procedure, and only after re-evaluation and confirmation of normal renal function (see sections "Dosage and administration" and "Special precautions").
Combinations requiring caution
Certain medicinal products, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, and diuretics, especially loop diuretics, may negatively affect renal function, thereby increasing the risk of lactic acidosis. Renal function must be carefully monitored when initiating treatment with these medicinal products or when using them concomitantly with metformin.
Medicinal products with hyperglycemic effects (systemic and topical glucocorticoids, sympathomimetics)
Blood glucose levels should be monitored more frequently, especially at the beginning of treatment. Dose adjustment of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 may be necessary during and after discontinuation of such concomitant therapy.
Organic cation transporters (OCT)
Metformin is a substrate of both OCT1 and OCT2 transporters.
Concomitant use of metformin with:
- OCT1 inhibitors (such as verapamil) may reduce metformin efficacy;
- OCT1 inducers (such as rifampicin) may increase gastrointestinal absorption and efficacy of metformin;
− OCT2 inhibitors (such as cimetidine, dolutegravir, ranolazine, trimethoprim, vandetanib, isavuconazole) may reduce renal elimination of metformin, leading to increased plasma concentrations of metformin;
- dual inhibitors of OCT1 and OCT2 (such as crizotinib, olaparib) may affect both efficacy and renal excretion of metformin.
Therefore, particular caution is recommended when co-administering these agents with metformin, especially in patients with impaired renal function, as plasma concentrations of metformin may increase. Dose adjustment of metformin may be required, as OCT inhibitors/inducers may influence metformin efficacy.
Special precautions for use
Lactic acidosis. This is a very rare but serious metabolic complication, most commonly occurring in acute worsening of renal function, cardiopulmonary disease, or sepsis. Acute worsening of renal function leads to accumulation of metformin, increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.
In case of dehydration (severe diarrhea or vomiting, fever, or reduced fluid intake), temporary discontinuation of metformin is recommended, and medical advice should be sought.
When metformin is being administered, caution is advised when initiating treatment with agents that may acutely impair renal function (e.g., antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, and NSAIDs). Other risk factors for lactic acidosis include excessive alcohol consumption, hepatic insufficiency, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, ketosis, prolonged fasting, and any conditions associated with hypoxia, as well as concomitant use of medicinal products that may cause lactic acidosis (see sections "Contraindications" and "Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction").
Patients and/or their caregivers should be informed about the risk of developing lactic acidosis. Characteristic symptoms of lactic acidosis include acidotic dyspnea, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, asthenia, and hypothermia, with possible progression to coma. If any symptoms suggestive of lactic acidosis occur, the patient must discontinue metformin and seek immediate medical attention.
Diagnostic laboratory findings include decreased blood pH (< 7.35), elevated serum lactate concentration (> 5 mmol/L), increased anion gap, and elevated lactate/pyruvate ratio.
Patients with established or suspected mitochondrial disorders
Metformin is not recommended in patients with established mitochondrial disorders, such as mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes)) and mitochondrial inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), due to the risk of exacerbating lactic acidosis and neurological complications, which may worsen the course of the disease.
If signs and symptoms suggestive of MELAS or MIDD occur during metformin treatment, metformin therapy should be discontinued immediately and prompt diagnostic evaluation initiated.
Renal impairment. eGFR should be assessed before starting treatment and regularly thereafter (see section "Dosage and administration"). Metformin is contraindicated in patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min and should be temporarily discontinued in the presence of conditions affecting renal function (see section "Contraindications").
Cardiac function. Patients with heart failure have an increased risk of hypoxia and renal impairment. Metformin may be used in patients with stable chronic heart failure provided cardiac and renal function are monitored. Metformin is contraindicated in patients with acute or unstable heart failure (see section "Contraindications").
Elderly patients. Due to limited data on the therapeutic efficacy of reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes or delaying its onset in patients aged 75 years and older, metformin is not recommended for this age group.
Iodinated contrast agents. Intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media may cause nephropathy, leading to metformin accumulation and increased risk of lactic acidosis. Metformin should be discontinued before or during the procedure and restarted no earlier than 48 hours after the procedure, and only after re-evaluation and confirmation of normal renal function (see sections "Dosage and administration" and "Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction").
Surgery. Metformin should be discontinued during surgical procedures performed under general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia and restarted no earlier than 48 hours after surgery or upon resumption of oral nutrition, and only after assessment and confirmation of normal renal function.
Other precautions. Patients should adhere to dietary recommendations and maintain a regular intake of carbohydrates throughout the day. Overweight patients should continue a low-calorie diet. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is required.
Metformin may decrease serum vitamin B12 levels. The risk of vitamin B12 deficiency increases with higher metformin doses, longer duration of treatment, and/or presence of patient-related factors predisposing to vitamin B12 deficiency. Serum vitamin B12 levels should be monitored if deficiency is suspected (e.g., anemia or neuropathy). Patients with risk factors for vitamin B12 deficiency may require routine monitoring of vitamin B12 levels. Metformin therapy should be continued as long as it is tolerated and not contraindicated, with appropriate corrective treatment for vitamin B12 deficiency provided according to current clinical guidelines.
Metformin monotherapy does not cause hypoglycemia; however, caution is required when metformin is used concomitantly with insulin or other oral hypoglycemic agents (e.g., sulfonylureas or meglitinides). Tablet coating fragments may be observed in feces. This is a normal phenomenon and has no clinical significance.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Pregnancy. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia in the preconception period and during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of congenital anomalies, pregnancy loss, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and perinatal mortality. It is important to maintain blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible throughout pregnancy to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes of hyperglycemia for both mother and child.
Metformin crosses the placenta in concentrations similar to those in the mother.
A large amount of data from pregnant women (over 1000 exposure outcomes) from cohort studies based on registries, published meta-analyses, and clinical trials indicates no increased risk of congenital anomalies or fetal/neonatal toxicity due to metformin exposure during the periconceptional period and/or during pregnancy.
There are limited, unconfirmed data on the long-term effects of metformin on the weight of children exposed in utero. Available evidence suggests that metformin does not affect motor and social development in children up to 4 years of age who were exposed in utero, although long-term outcome data are limited.
If clinically necessary, metformin may be used during pregnancy and in the preconception period either as an adjunct to or as an alternative to insulin.
Breastfeeding. Metformin is excreted in breast milk, but no adverse effects have been observed in breastfed newborns/infants. However, due to insufficient safety data, breastfeeding is not recommended during metformin therapy. The decision to discontinue breastfeeding should take into account the benefits of breastfeeding and the potential risk of adverse effects for the child.
Fertility. Metformin had no effect on fertility in animal studies at doses of 600 mg/kg/day, approximately three times the maximum recommended human daily dose based on body surface area.
Ability to influence reaction rate when driving vehicles or operating machinery.
METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 does not affect reaction speed when driving vehicles or operating machinery, as monotherapy with this drug does not cause hypoglycemia.
However, caution is advised when using metformin in combination with other hypoglycemic agents (sulfonylureas, insulin, meglitinides) due to the risk of hypoglycemia.
Method of Administration and Dosage
Adult patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min)
Reduction of risk or delay in onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Metformin should only be prescribed when lifestyle modifications over a period of 3–6 months have not provided adequate glycemic control.
- Treatment should be initiated with one tablet of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-500 once daily with the evening meal.
- After 10–15 days of treatment, the dose should be adjusted according to blood glucose measurements (values of OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) and/or fasting plasma glucose and/or HbA1c should be within normal range). Gradual dose escalation may improve gastrointestinal tolerability. The maximum recommended dose of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 is 2 tablets (2000 mg) once daily with the evening meal.
- It is recommended to regularly monitor (every 3–6 months) the glycemic status (OGTT values, and/or fasting plasma glucose, and/or HbA1c), as well as risk factors, to make decisions regarding continuation, modification, or discontinuation of therapy.
- Re-evaluation of treatment is also necessary if the patient subsequently improves diet and/or physical activity, or if changes in the patient’s health status allow for lifestyle modifications.
Monotherapy or combination therapy with other oral hypoglycemic agents. METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 should be administered once daily with the evening meal. The maximum recommended dose is 2 tablets per day.
The medicinal product METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 can be used as maintenance therapy in patients who have previously been treated with metformin hydrochloride at a dose of 1000 mg or 2000 mg. When switching, the daily dose of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 should be equivalent to the current daily dose of metformin hydrochloride.
Patients currently receiving metformin hydrochloride at doses exceeding 2000 mg per day should not be switched to therapy with METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000.
For patients treated with METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000, the dosage of 2000 mg per day should not be exceeded.
For patients initiating treatment, the usual starting dose of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 is 500 mg once daily with the evening meal. After 10–15 days of treatment, the dose should be adjusted based on blood glucose measurements. Gradual dose escalation helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
If the desired glycemic level cannot be achieved with the maximum daily dose of 2000 mg of METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 taken once daily, this dose may be divided into two doses per day (once in the morning and once in the evening, with meals).
If the desired glycemic level remains unattainable, metformin hydrochloride in immediate-release tablets may be used at the maximum recommended dose of 3000 mg per day.
When switching from therapy with another antidiabetic agent to METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000, the dose should be titrated, starting with METFORMIN-PR-MILI-500.
Combination therapy with insulin. To achieve better control of blood glucose levels, metformin and insulin may be used in combination therapy. The usual starting dose of metformin is 500 mg once daily with the evening meal, and the insulin dose should then be adjusted based on blood glucose measurements.
METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000, prolonged-release tablets, may be used after dose titration.
In elderly patients, renal function may decline; therefore, the dose of metformin should be adjusted based on assessment of renal function, which should be performed regularly (see section "Special Warnings and Precautions for Use").
The benefit of reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus or delaying its onset has not been established in patients aged 75 years and older (see section "Pharmacodynamics"); therefore, metformin is not recommended for these patients (see section "Special Warnings and Precautions for Use").
Renal impairment. eGFR should be assessed before initiating treatment with metformin-containing products and at least annually thereafter. In patients at increased risk of progressive renal impairment and in elderly patients, more frequent monitoring of renal function (e.g., every 3–6 months) is recommended.

Children. The medicinal product should not be used in children, as there are no clinical data available for this age group of patients.
Overdose. No hypoglycemia was observed following administration of the medicinal product at a dose of 85 g. However, in this case, lactic acidosis developed. A significant overdose of metformin or concomitant risk factors may lead to the development of lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency. If lactic acidosis occurs, treatment with METFORMIN-PR-MILI-1000 must be discontinued and the patient should be urgently hospitalized. Hemodialysis is the most effective procedure for removing lactate and metformin from the body.
Adverse Reactions
According to post-marketing and controlled clinical studies, adverse reactions in patients treated with metformin hydrochloride in the form of extended-release tablets were similar in nature and severity to those observed in patients treated with metformin hydrochloride immediate-release tablets.
The most common adverse reactions at the beginning of treatment are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. These symptoms usually resolve spontaneously in most cases.
Adverse effects are classified by frequency of occurrence into the following categories: very common (> 1/10), common (> 1/100 and < 1/10), uncommon (> 1/1,000 and < 1/100), rare (> 1/10,000 and < 1/1,000), very rare (< 1/10,000).
Metabolic disorders
Common: decreased levels / vitamin B12 deficiency (see section "Special Warnings and Precautions for Use").
Very rare: lactic acidosis (see section "Special Warnings and Precautions for Use").
Nervous system disorders
Common: taste disturbances.
Gastrointestinal disorders
Very common: gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. These adverse effects most commonly occur at the beginning of treatment and usually resolve spontaneously. To minimize gastrointestinal adverse effects, a gradual dose escalation is recommended.
Hepatobiliary disorders
Very rare: liver function test abnormalities or hepatitis, which completely resolve after discontinuation of metformin.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders
Very rare: skin allergic reactions including erythema, pruritus, urticaria.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
