Metformin is not metabolized in the liver or GI tract and is not excreted in bile; no metabolites of the drug have been identified in humans.
Metformin is not metabolized.
Route of Elimination: Intravenous single-dose studies in normal subjects demonstrate that metformin is excreted unchanged in the urine and does not undergo hepatic metabolism (no metabolites have been identified in humans) nor biliary excretion. Approximately 90% of the drug is eliminated in 24 hours in those with healthy renal function. Renal clearance of metformin is approximately 3.5 times that of creatinine clearance, indicating the tubular secretion is the primary mode of metformin elimination.
Half Life: 6.2 hours. Duration of action is 8-12 hours.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Metformin is antihyperglycemic, not hypoglycemic agent. It does not cause insulin release from the pancreas and does not cause hypoglycemia, even in large doses. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Metformin is believed to work by inhibiting hepatic glucose production and increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissue to insulin. It does not stimulate insulin secretion, which explains the absence of hypoglycemia. Metformin also has beneficial effects on the plasma lipid concentrations and promotes weight loss. Accumulation of metformin may occur in patients with renal impairment, and such accumulation rarely can result in lactic acidosis, a serious, potentially fatal metabolic disease. Lactic acidosis constitutes a medical emergency requiring immediate hospitalization and treatment; lactic acidosis is characterized by elevated blood lactate concentrations, decreased blood pH, electrolyte disturbances with an increased anion gap, and an increased lactate/pyruvate ratio. Lactic acidosis also may occur in association with a variety of pathophysiologic conditions, including diabetes mellitus, and whenever substantial tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxemia exist. Approximately 50% of cases of metformin-associated lactic acidosis have been reported to be fatal. No evidence of mutagenicity or chromosomal damage was observed in in vitro test systems, including human lymphocytes assay. ANIMAL STUDIES: No evidence of carcinogenic potential was seen in a 104-week study in male and female rats receiving metformin hydrochloride dosages up to and including 900 mg/kg daily or in a 91-week study in male and female mice receiving metformin hydrochloride at dosages up to and including 1500 mg/kg daily. Cancer preventive effect of metformin (MF) has been studied in mice, rats and hamsters. In the majority of cases metformin treatment leads to inhibition of carcinogenesis. No evidence of impaired fertility was observed in rats following administration of metformin hydrochloride dosages of 600 mg/kg daily. Reproduction studies in rats and rabbits given metformin hydrochloride dosages of 600 mg/kg daily have not revealed teratogenicity. No evidence of mutagenicity or chromosomal damage was observed in vivo in a micronucleus test in mice or in in vitro test systems, including microbial (Ames test) and mammalian (mouse lymphoma) assays. Pretreatment of rat cerebellar granule neurons with metformin greatly enhanced cell viability against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity. In aged male mice fed high-fat diet supplemented with metformin for 6 months, metformin decreased body fat composition and attenuated declines in motor function induced by a high fat diet. Performance in the Morris water maze test of hippocampal based memory function, showed that metformin prevented impairment of spatial reference memory associated with the high fat diet. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Adult fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were chronically exposed to metformin for 4 wk, at 40 ug/L. Metformin treatment induced significant up-regulation of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encoding the egg-protein vitellogenin in male fish, an indication of endocrine disruption.
Metformin's mechanisms of action differ from other classes of oral antihyperglycemic agents. Metformin decreases blood glucose levels by decreasing hepatic glucose production, decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose, and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. These effects are mediated by the initial activation by metformin of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a liver enzyme that plays an important role in insulin signaling, whole body energy balance, and the metabolism of glucose and fats. Activation of AMPK is required for metformin's inhibitory effect on the production of glucose by liver cells. Increased peripheral utilization of glucose may be due to improved insulin binding to insulin receptors. Metformin administration also increases AMPK activity in skeletal muscle. AMPK is known to cause GLUT4 deployment to the plasma membrane, resulting in insulin-independent glucose uptake. The rare side effect, lactic acidosis, is thought to be caused by decreased liver uptake of serum lactate, one of the substrates of gluconeogenesis. In those with healthy renal function, the slight excess is simply cleared. However, those with severe renal impairment may accumulate clinically significant serum lactic acid levels. Other conditions that may precipitate lactic acidosis include severe hepatic disease and acute/decompensated heart failure.
Minor enzyme elevations have been reported to occur during metformin therapy in less than 1% of patients. Indeed, metformin may actually lower elevated aminotransferase levels in patients with fatty liver disease. Clinically apparent liver injury from metformin is very rare, fewer than a dozen cases having been described in the literature despite widespread use of this agent for several decades. The liver injury usually appears after 1 to 8 weeks, typically with symptoms of weakness and fatigue followed by jaundice. Various combinations of hepatocellular and cholestatic injury have been described, and many have been mixed. Allergic manifestations are not typical but rash, fever and eosinophilia have been described. Autoantibody formation is also not typical. Because this agent is usually given in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, many of which also cause liver injury, it can be difficult to establish whether the injury is due to metformin or another agent. The timing of injury is perhaps most characteristic, the injury arising soon after the agent is started and not during long term therapy. Recovery is usually rapid after metformin is stopped.
**Regular tablet absorption** The absolute bioavailability of a metformin 500 mg tablet administered in the fasting state is about 50%-60%. Single-dose clinical studies using oral doses of metformin 500 to 1500 mg and 850 to 2550 mg show that there is a lack of dose proportionality with an increase in metformin dose, attributed to decreased absorption rather than changes in elimination. At usual clinical doses and dosing schedules of metformin, steady-state plasma concentrations of metformin are achieved within 24-48 hours and are normally measured at <1 μg/mL. **Extended-release tablet absorption** After a single oral dose of metformin extended-release, Cmax is reached with a median value of 7 hours and a range of between 4 and 8 hours. Peak plasma levels are measured to be about 20% lower compared to the same dose of regular metformin, however, the extent of absorption of both forms (as measured by area under the curve - AUC), are similar. **Effect of food** Food reduces the absorption of metformin, as demonstrated by about a 40% lower mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax), a 25% lower area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC), and a 35-minute increase in time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) after ingestion of an 850 mg tablet of metformin taken with food, compared to the same dose administered during fasting. Though the extent of metformin absorption (measured by the area under the curve - AUC) from the metformin extended-release tablet is increased by about 50% when given with food, no effect of food on Cmax and Tmax of metformin is observed. High and low-fat meals exert similar effects on the pharmacokinetics of extended-release metformin.
This drug is substantially excreted by the kidney. Renal clearance of metformin is about 3.5 times higher than creatinine clearance, which shows that renal tubular secretion is the major route of metformin elimination. After oral administration, about 90% of absorbed metformin is eliminated by the kidneys within the first 24 hours post-ingestion.

The apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of metformin after one oral dose of metformin 850 mg averaged at 654 ± 358 L.
Renal clearance is about 3.5 times greater than creatinine clearance, which indicates that tubular secretion is the major route of metformin elimination. Following oral administration, approximately 90% of the absorbed drug is eliminated via the renal route within the first 24 hours.
Metformin is slowly and incompletely absorbed from the GI tract, mainly from the small intestine; absorption is complete within 6 hours. The absolute oral bioavailability of the drug under fasting conditions is reported to be approximately 50-60% with metformin hydrochloride doses of 0.5-1.5 g; binding of the drug to the intestinal wall may explain the difference between the amount of drug absorbed (as determined by the urinary and fecal excretion of unchanged drug) and the amount bioavailable in some studies. In single-dose studies with metformin hydrochloride conventional tablets doses of 0.5-1.5 g or 0.85-2.55 g, plasma metformin concentrations did not increase in proportion to increasing doses, suggesting an active saturable absorption process. Similarly, in single-dose studies with an extended-release tablet preparation (Glumetza) at doses of 0.5-2.5 g, plasma metformin concentrations did not increase in proportion to increasing doses. At steady state after administration of a metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablet preparation (Glucophage XR), the AUC and peak plasma concentrations were not dose proportional within the range of 0.5-2 g. However, limited data from studies in animals and in human intestinal cell cultures suggest that transepithelial transfer of metformin in the intestine may occur through a passive, nonsaturable mechanism, possibly involving a paracellular route. In several studies with another metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablet preparation (Fortamet) using doses of 1-2.5 g, metformin exposure was dose-related.
