Summary

A study led by Carolyn T. Bramante at the University of Minnesota found that a 14-day course of metformin during acute COVID-19 did not definitively prevent long-term symptoms at 6 months. However, relatively fewer clinician-diagnosed long COVID cases were observed, and no major safety signals were detected. The low event rate made evaluation challenging, but the proportion of participants reporting new long COVID diagnoses was encouragingly low.
