Studies from Wuhan have shown that the diabetes medicine metformin probably has a positive influence on people with corona.
Wuhan – It blazed at the beginning of the year Coronavirus especially in chinese wuhan on. Initially smiled at in Europe and the rest of the world, it quickly spread across the globe. Since then, much has not seemed the way it was, and the central question is: How can you defeat Covid-19? Ironically, researchers from Wuhan have “found” a drug that can apparently stand up to the virus.

The search for a remedy for the coronavirus is currently the subject of numerous studies and research. There is currently no suitable medication or vaccination, the fight against Covid-19 is in full swing.
Now Chinese researchers from the Corona epicenter Wuhan should follow a particularly hot trail: Metformin!
Metformin is a diabetes pill from the 1950s. Metformin has been the subject of numerous studies, which have shown that the drug can also be used in the fight against breast cancer and heart diseases. So now against Covid-19?
In the course of research and tests, it is now becoming apparent that the (miracle) pill also appears to have a positive effect on the survival rate of corona patients!

The study by the researchers in Wuhan clearly shows this. Statistically speaking, significantly fewer diabetes patients should die from the coronavirus if they take metformin for diabetes.
And not only the Chinese researchers, studies by the University of Minnesota also showed similar results.
The tenor is clear here too: Patients who have been given the diabetes pill have a significantly lower risk of dying than those who take another diabetes medication.
In addition to metformin, there is also justified hope that the steroid dexamethasone could also have a positive effect on the course of a corona disease. According to “Sun”, this is even said to reduce the deaths of patients on respirators by up to a third.
Both drugs can also be purchased very cheaply, it is said. This would make treatment much easier, especially in socially weaker societies.
