I am extremely curious as to what the mechanism of action is. The article did not say.

Makes you wonder if Berberine, affecting the same metabolic pathways as Metformin, would also reduce viral load.

Bet it’s more expensive than Invermectin and quinine.

I haven’t had Covid, but I’m prescribed Metformin for diabetes, so I guess I’m good to go.

A couple of weeks ago, I was briefly hospitalized because I was vomiting extremely violently and continuously. I also had diarrhea. The strange thing is my illness hit me so suddenly. One minute I was watching television then the next minute I was losing consciousness from vomiting so much.

I was diagnosed with UTI and Stomach Flu, but I believe the shrimp I had for dinner may have been part of the problem. While hospitalized, they gave me potassium via IV, even though I take prescribed potassium pills daily.

Covid can’t be as miserable as what I experienced.

So diabetics using metformin aren’t at high risk from CoupFlu after all...?
