Why do doctors no longer prescribe metformin?

Metformin is known to have few side effects such as nausea, vomiting and lactic acidosis in kidney failure patients. Few extended release formulations had traces of carcinogens which got banned now. Although, it has few negtaives the benefits are more in terms of good control of diabetes. Hence, doctors outweight risk versus benefit and prescribe medications accordingly

I'm 20 and recently found out I have a vitamin D deficiency. Is it okay if I take Nurokind D3 tablets every day?

What is your vitamin D3 levels? Based on the amount of deficiency you can take injection. Uprise D3 6L once a week. This will be cheaper and faster than oral medications. If you do not want to take injection, then yes you can take neurokind D3 once a day for a month. Or you can take D3 must 60k once a week for 3 months.
