A member asked:
Do you think metphormin will ever be used for humans for lack of memory? i under stand this is a diabetes drug. but i think this drug will eventually be used for other areas. what you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: I don't know of any use of metformin for memory but it certainly has a few uses outside of diabetes. In fact, many drugs have multiple uses and physicians often use drugs outside of their original purpose.
