Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Can someone with leukemia take Metformin?Doctor's answer:
Taking metformin for leukemia is not very effective, as metformin is primarily used as an anti-diabetic medication. If a patient who drinks Sprite does not have diabetes, taking metformin generally will not cause hypoglycemia. Because I think metformin is still relatively safe in traditional Chinese medicine, but if there is kidney dysfunction, it is best not to take it, as this medication is mainly metabolized and excreted by the kidneys.
