Metformin efficacy and tolerance according to genetic polymorphisms of organic cation transporter 1 in Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes
30 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Metformin efficacy and tolerance vary at equivalent dose in type 2 diabetes. Inter-individual variability in the response to metformin with approximately 35% of patients failing to achieve initial glycemic control may be explained by genetic polymorphisms that affect the drug's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Differences in the frequencies of pharmacogenomic risk alleles associated with metformin...
