Sandoz Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg

Sandoz Metformin Hydrochloride is a generic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. The brand Sandoz is one of the world's leading names in generic pharmaceuticals and biosimilars, with a history dating back to 1886 when Kern & Sandoz was founded in Basel, Switzerland. Originally known for its work in industrial chemicals and dyes, it eventually merged with Ciba-Geigy to form Novartis in 1996.

In October 2023, Sandoz was officially spun off from Novartis to become an independent, publicly traded company. Its manufacturing network is extensive, with major production sites in countries such as Austria, Germany, Slovenia, and India. The brand is now headquartered in Switzerland as a standalone entity, continuing its legacy of providing affordable essential medicines globally.
