A new study reported by CIDRAP finds that metformin, the common diabetes drug, slashes the risk of long COVID and death by 53% when taken within a week of a COVID-19 infection. The finding is drawing attention online, with commenters flagging it as significant for long COVID prevention, an area where effective treatments have remained scarce.

Why now: New evidence that an inexpensive, widely available drug may prevent long COVID is a notable development in pandemic research
