Metformin and Neural tube defect - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

We study 407,023 people who take Metformin or have Neural tube defect. No report of Neural tube defect is found in people who take Metformin.

The phase IV clinical study is created by eHealthMe based on reports from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Phase IV trials are used to detect adverse drug outcomes and monitor drug effectiveness in the real world. With medical big data and AI algorithms, eHealthMe is running millions of phase IV trials and makes the results available to the public. Our original studies have been referenced on 600+ medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature.
