A recent study has revealed that a commonly prescribed diabetes drug also helps alleviate joint pain.
Over 6 million prescriptions are issued annually for two types of diabetes medications.
Conducted by Monash University in Australia, the research involved more than 100 participants who, despite not having diabetes, were overweight and suffering from arthritis.
In the trial, two types of diabetes drugs were administered to separate groups.
The findings showed that one of these drugs, commonly used for diabetes management, can also effectively reduce joint pain in overweight individuals.
