Metformin and metformin HCl are essentially the same medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. The "HCl" in metformin HCl stands for hydrochloride, which is a salt form of the medicine. If you are looking for some better cure then must try metformin hcl 500 mg

Key Points:

Active ingredient: Both metformin and metformin HCl contain the same active ingredient, metformin.
Chemical form: Metformin HCl is the hydrochloride salt form of metformin.

Efficacy and safety: Both forms are equally effective and safe for treating type 2 diabetes.
Availability: Both metformin and metformin HCl are available in various generic and brand-name formulations.

In essence, there is no significant difference between metformin and metformin HCl in terms of their effectiveness or safety. The choice between the two often depends on factors such as personal preference, availability, and cost.

If you have any specific questions about metformin or metformin HCl, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider.
