Liquid metformin: a gentler option for diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07300046
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study will test whether a liquid form of metformin causes fewer stomach problems than the standard tablet. Twenty-four healthy adults will each try both the liquid and tablet versions in a random order. The goal is to see which is better tolerated, which could eventually help people with diabetes who have trouble with metformin pills.

- Active substance
- metformin
- What this could lead to
- If liquid metformin is better tolerated, it could offer an easier-to-take option for people who struggle with metformin tablets.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in healthy volunteers, not people with diabetes. Results may not apply to patients, and the liquid form might not actually reduce side effects.
