Findings of meta-analysis suggest concurrent metformin administration may reduce the metabolic risk of those taking atypical antipsychotic agents

A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut (UCONN) School of Pharmacy, Storrs, Conn., and Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn., suggest that using metformin along with atypical antipsychotic agents (such as olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, and clozapine) may result in better anthropometric measurements and decreased insulin resistance.
