Metformin for COVID-19
3rd treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2020
 
*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 87 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.
3,900+ studies for 60+ treatments. c19early.org
Meta analysis of 5 studies showing lower mortality with metformin use.
13 meta analyses show significant improvements with metformin for mortality Hariyanto, Kan, Kow, Li, Lukito, Ma, Oscanoa, Parveen, Petrelli, Poly, Schlesinger, Yang, hospitalization Li, progression Yang, and severity Petrelli, Schlesinger.
Currently there are 87 metformin for COVID-19 studies, showing 34% lower mortality [29‑38%], 31% lower ventilation [13‑45%], 17% lower ICU admission [7‑26%], 18% lower hospitalization [11‑24%], and 5% fewer cases [-4‑13%].
