An older biguanide antidiabetic drug related to metformin, used to treat type 2 diabetes before being withdrawn from most markets due to an unacceptably high risk of lactic acidosis. It lowered blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. It is largely of historical interest in the development of diabetes pharmacology.
