Summary
A new clinical study reveals that the low-cost diabetes drug metformin significantly lowers the odds of preterm birth in pregnant women with high metabolic risk, even though it failed to prevent the overall onset of gestational diabetes.
The finding adds to the evidence in Maternal & Newborn and Therapeutics. Read it alongside earlier studies asking the same question. Companies whose products depend on clinical proof feel this kind of result first.
