Metformin may influence bone health positively by increasing bone mineral density and reducing fracture risk, though studies show mixed results.
Metformin has been linked to enhanced bone formation and decreased risk of fractures among diabetic patients, suggesting potential protective effects.
Metformin, commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes, could positively influence bone health by reducing bone turnover, potentially lowering fracture risk in long-term users.
