Metformin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. There are a few different ways to get a Metformin prescription. Most people are used to getting a prescription from an in-person visit to a doctor.

But what if you don't have a primary care physician? Or you've been prescribed Metformin, but it's hard to find time to get to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription? Luckily, you can also get a Metformin prescription online.

There are a few advantages of ordering Metformin online. First, it is more convenient than seeing your doctor in person. Second, it can be cheaper than getting a prescription from your doctor in some cases.

Let's look at why Metformin helps with diabetes, how you can get a prescription, and why getting Metformin online through 9amHealth saves you time and money.

What is Metformin?

Metformin helps to control blood sugar levels in your body. Metformin has been prescribed to patients for 60 years. Studies have shown that it safely and effectively lowers blood glucose.

How Metformin works:

  • Lowers blood glucose
  • Lowers inflammation in the body
  • improves insulin sensitivity
  • May reduce weight in people living with diabetes
