Is Metformin safe to take for non-diabetics?

Posted , 1 user is following.

I see some people use metformin to lose weight or to get healthier as it can allegedly makes you live longer.

Since it's a drug that fights diabetes, is it safe to take for people who are healthy? I assume it lowers you blood sugar levels, is it safe to take if your blood sugar is lower that normal?

Thank you!
