Common diabetes drug may shield schizophrenia patients from statin side effect

NCT ID NCT07045142

Summary

This study is testing if adding the diabetes medication metformin can help people with schizophrenia who need cholesterol-lowering statins. Statins can raise blood sugar and diabetes risk, which is a particular concern for this group. Researchers will give 400 participants either metformin or a placebo along with their statin for six months to see if metformin improves blood sugar control and metabolic health.
