Metformina

Metformin is a generic pharmaceutical product used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes. Its origin as a medicinal compound dates back to the early 20th century, but it was specifically developed for clinical use by the French physician Jean Sterne in the 1950s under the brand name Glucophage.

Today, Metformin is produced globally by hundreds of different pharmaceutical companies as a generic medication. While the original brand Glucophage is owned by Merck KGaA, the vast majority of 'Metformina' sold in pharmacies is manufactured by local and international generic manufacturers in countries like India, China, Mexico, and Germany. The specific manufacturing origin depends entirely on the lab printed on the box.
