Insufor – Hypoglycemic Agent Diabetes 1 Type, 2 Type

Insufor is an oral hypoglycemic drug belonging to the biguanide group. The drug increases sensitivity of peripheral receptors to insulin, enhances muscle glucose uptake, suspends absorption of glucose and other carbohydrates from the gastrointestinal tract, inhibits gluconeogenesis in the liver, increases tissue sensitivity to insulin, suppresses insulin inactivation and decreases blood glucose level. Insufor cut down appetite, significantly reduces body weight in patients with diabetes mellitus, suffering from obesity, produces favourable effect on lipid metabolism (reduces total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels), has antifibrinolytic properties, does not stimulate insulin secretion and does not demonstrate hypoglycemic action in healthy subjects.
