Metformin is primarily used for type 2 diabetes, not rheumatoid arthritis. Its anti-inflammatory effects may be beneficial, but research is limited and more studies are needed.
Metformin isn’t a standard treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, as its primary use is managing diabetes. Its impact on RA inflammation and joint health hasn’t been clearly established.
