If a new use is found will Metformin be placed back on patent and acquire a government protected ounce of gold new price tag?
The company that puts in all the research and clinical trials will rebrand the drug as Longevitia, make it in weird strengths or time released tablets that are not currently available (instead of 500mg it will be 567mg) and they will cost $65 per pill, taken twice a day. Or only $3,900 a month, not covered by insurance of course.
PS you don't have to be diabetic to take metformin.
