If the deadly corona virus wasn’t enough to scare you, a diabetes medicine is going around that may be causing people cancer. According to CTV News, Health Canada has just expanded a national recall for a product of diabetes medication because of an impurity in the drug, which is possibly linked to cancer. The recall was sent out on Wednesday, and is for a specific prescription drug that contains metformin. This medicine is used by people who suffer from Type 2 diabetes, and helps them to control their blood sugar levels. Officials say that at least six lots of the drug called RAN-Metformin, (sold by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.) have been recalled. The full list of lot numbers for recalled medical products can be found on Health Canada’s website. For more information on this story, click on the link below.
