Metformin tablets contain metformin hydrochloride, which helps lower blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. It is widely used for managing type 2 diabetes, often alongside diet and exercise, to keep blood sugar levels under control and reduce diabetes-related complications.
