Researchers say that metformin, a commonly used oral medication for diabetes, not only helps stabilize blood sugar levels, may also protect against heart disease.
In a study involving more than one hundred thousand of people who took metformin or other group of oral diabetes medications known as insulin secretagogues (SI), the researchers found that metformin and gliclazide and repaglinide SI had the lower risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
“Some medications, such as metformin, gliclazide and repaglinide are more effective in reducing cardiovascular risk than others,” The study’s findings are probably an indication that metformin, gliclazide and repaglinide are protective.
In previous research has shown that metformin reduces the risk of major adverse cardiac events and death in about 40 percent. This means that other drugs would have a lot to offer protection to be level favorable.
If you compare a good medicine with good medicine, good is not necessarily so good. But if you compare a good drug with a placebo, the cardiovascular risk is likely to be neutral.
Metformin is the first line of treatment recommended for anyone with type 2 diabetes. However like other medicine there are no of side effects of metformin.The findings of this study support this recommendation.
Although insulin secretagogues widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes, either by themselves or in combination with metformin, according to background information in the study, information is needed on their long-term cardiovascular effects.
To better determine what impact, if they do, carry these drugs on heart health, researchers reviewed data from 107.806 people. All were taking an oral diabetes drug, metformin, glimepiride, gliclazide, glibenclamide (known as glyburide in the USA. UU. And Canada), glipizide, tolbutamide and repaglinide. Of this group, 9.607 people had experienced a previous cardiovascular event, such as heart attack or stroke.
Compared with metformin, four of the drugs were more likely to be associated with increased risk of mortality from all causes among those who had no history of cardiovascular events. The risk with glimepiride was 32 percent higher, while the risk increased by 19 percent for glibenclamide. For glipizide, the risk was 27 percent higher and the risk of death was 28 percent higher for those taking tolbutamide vs. metformin, according to the study. The risks were even greater among those taking these drugs and had previously suffered a cardiovascular event.
The researchers also found that the risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death was higher among those taking these drugs.
Gliclazide and repaglinide, SI drugs had similar risk profiles to metformin and did not appear to be related to increased risk of death, heart attack or stroke. Since there is no standard melatonin dosage guidelines can be obtained from clinical studies
We showed that for all results, the SI glimepiride, glyburide, glipizide and tolbutamide at greater risk when compared with metformin, while there was no statistical difference in the risk for gliclazide and repaglinide versus metformin.
People should not stop taking any medication for diabetes on their own. If you have any concern, “talk with your health care,” he said.
