Metformin is cheap because it's been around since the 1940s and is long off-patent. It works and is low-risk, and I'm just glad it works for me! 3/3 https://t.co/4ovoXCDeFu
Not sure if @karthik2k2 will stop prescribing metformin to his diabetes patient. As metformin has its root to some traditional medicines. So by his Modern building analogy, this will be called copyright infringement, unfortunately Ayush don't sue anyone. https://t.co/Q2jBisevY9
It's also worth pointing out that metformin was explored as an antimalarial and antiviral (against the flu) before it became widely adopted as a diabetes drug: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28776081/

@LilRdVet2 @GwenDakota2 As I said, it doesn't cause low blood sugar in non-diabetics. It wasn't created for diabetes, they just realized at some point it worked for diabetes. https://t.co/jXX1QJJxsI.
@dianaberrent I think the GLP-1 hype has made people think every diabetes drug is like that, but Metformin just lowers blood glucose by altering liver function. Why mixing alcohol is a big risk. Some interesting history https://t.co/P0f4VMxbeC
@jessica_jnd9 @MamaToronto @SickKidsNews @BogochIsaac @RevivalCare Oh my apologies - I misunderstood what you were saying earlier. I didn’t know that it was initially re-discovered as an anti-malarial drug! Interesting. https://t.co/gu4YQVFIvd.

I know we think of Metformin as a diabetes drug, but it was originally in the search for an antimalarial that it was found to lower blood sugar. Goat's rue, the traditional European herb Metformin is derived from is known for its antiviral properties. https://t.co/P0f4VMxbeC
