If nothing else has come out of the Corona crisis, there was a lot of conversation on the repurposing of older medications to try to reduce the effects or prevent COVID-19 infection. For a while there was some “exciting” research on the use of metformin to reduce the severity. However, like a lot of medications in the end it was not the panacea that the first comments would have led us to believe.

That does not mean metformin is only good for diabetes. In an article that Abdullah Al-Ajmi, PharmD Candidate, University of Colorado School of Pharmacy, prepared for us, you can learn how metformin use in surgical patents can improve multiple outcomes.
