'']'' (French lilac) was used for diabetes treatment in traditional medicine for centuries. In the 1920s, ] compounds were discovered in ''Galega'' extracts. Animal studies showed that these compounds lowered blood glucose levels. Some less toxic derivatives, ] A and synthalin B, were used for diabetes treatment, but after the discovery of ] they were forgotten for the next several decades. Biguanides were reintroduced into Type 2 ] treatment in the late 1950s. Initially ] was widely used, but its potential for sometimes fatal ] resulted in its withdrawal from pharmacotherapy in most pharmacopeias (in the U.S. in 1977). Metformin has a much better safety profile, and it is the principal biguanide drug used in pharmacotherapy worldwide.

==Pharmacotherapy== ====History====
{{details|metformin#History}}
Biguanides do not affect the output of insulin, unlike other ]s such as ]s and ]s. Therefore, not only are they effective in Type 2 diabetics but they can also be effective in Type 1 patients in concert with insulin therapy.

==Mechanism of action== ====Mechanism of action====
The ] of biguanides is not fully understood, and many mechanisms have been proposed for metformin.{{cn|date=January 2024}}
The ] of biguanides is not fully understood. However, in hyperinsulinemia, biguanides can lower fasting levels of insulin in plasma. Their therapeutic uses derive from their tendency to reduce ] in the liver, and, as a result, reduce the level of glucose in the blood. Biguanides also tend to make the cells of the body more willing to absorb glucose already present in the blood stream, and there again reducing the level of glucose in the plasma.


Biguanides do not affect the output of insulin, unlike other ]s such as ]s and ]s. Therefore, they are effective in Type 2 diabetics; and in Type 1 diabetes when used in conjunction with insulin therapy.{{cn|date=January 2024}}
==Side effects and toxicity==
The most common side effect is ] and dyspepsia, occurring in up to 30% of patients. The most important and serious side effect is ], therefore metformin is contraindicated in renal insufficiency. Renal functions should be assessed before starting metformin. Phenformin and buformin are more prone to cause acidosis than metformin; therefore they have been practically replaced by it. However, when metformin is combined with other drugs (combination therapy), ] and other side effects are possible.


Mainly used in Type II diabetes, metformin is considered to increase insulin sensitivity in vivo, resulting in reduced plasma glucose concentrations, increased glucose uptake, and decreased gluconeogenesis.{{cn|date=January 2024}}
