Taken straight from the manufacturers info for Glucophage
Metformin method of action
Its pharmacologic mechanisms of action are different from other classes of oral antihyperglycemic agents. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
decreases intestinal absorption of carbohydrates. If they're not being absorbed....where are they going? Sure sounds like glucose disposal to me
Alright thanks for the info!
