Comparison of Normal and Extended Release Form Metformın in Term of Gastroıntestinal Side Effects in Type 2 Diabetic and Pre-Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Metformin is usually well-tolerated and commonly used oral-antidiabetic in type-2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal ones. It is proposed that extended-release form of metformin has less gastrointestinal side effects. We aimed to compare the extended-release and standard form metformin in type-2 diabetic and prediabetic patients for gastrointestinal tolerability, weight effect and glycemic control. Seventy-three newly diagnosed type-2 diabetic or prediabetic patients enrolled in the study. Standard form (group I) and extended-release (group II) metformin were started to patients with randomisation. Gastrointestinal symptom rating scale was used at the beginning and in the first month of treatment for evaluation. Gastrointestinal symptom scores were similar in both groups. At least one new symptom were found 20.5% of group I and 26.4% of group II. There was a slight increase in symptoms associated diarrhea in both groups and indigestion in the group II. No patients discontined treatment due to side effects. Weight loss was observed 4.0 and 3.0 kg for prediabetics in the group I and II, 2.5 kg for diabetic patients in the both groups. In diabetic patients, HbA1c reduced 1.28% and 1.24% in the group I and II. In conclusion, both forms are effective and similar in terms of gastrointestinal side effects.
