Fact: Look at how Met can prevent cancer.
For those with pre-existing kidney problems those people shouldn't take it. For those without kidney problems, yearly tests can monitor the side effects and if there's an issue, stop the drug.
The biggest issue for this miracle drug are GI problems.
Metformin is the go to drug for these issues and is considered a fairly safe, effective treatment.http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2012/10/21/metformin-glucophage-side-effects-complications/
