- burntrelish1273 9y agoI get a 30 day (1.5 grams twice per day) supply of Metformin at Walgreens for < $5.

- jameskraus 9y agoIn general, stimulants were once more popular as apatite curbing agents. When the drug was developed, they probably thought people would use it to lose weight, so 'glucose eater' has the same general effect they were going for: weight loss.
