A member asked:

Is it possible for metformin hcl (glucophage, diabetes pill) to kill a non-diabetic person?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad idea: Hi. Too much of almost anything can kill a person. Whoever you're thinking of doing this to, please don't do it. Get help. Get away from the person if the relationship is toxic. Do no harm.
