Metformin use by men linked to increase in birth defects


Recommended Posts

From the CNN link:

 

...babies who had paternal metformin exposure also tended to have parents who were older and of a lower socioeconomic status, which may play a role.

 

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.  And whether another Pharma is coming out with a new, safer and more expensive alternate.

 

I luvs me a good wingnut conspiracy theory, following the money.

 

Edit:  Or as I call them, "spoiler alerts".

They prescribed metformin for me at first and I had a terrible reaction, took a week to get over it.  Now I'm on glipizide, seems to be holding me together.  Every other diabetic I know is on metformin.

At 70 I'm not too concerned with causing birth defects . . .
