Metformin and nausea after general anesthesia study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the diabetes medicine metformin, taken before surgery, affects the risk of nausea and vomiting after general anesthesia. If you take metformin and are having planned surgery, this trial may help understand its effects.
