metformin and Alcohol Drinking

metformin has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 11 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.
