      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization in intervention and control groups will be done as block randomization in blocks of 4 by using the sealedenvelope website (online randomization website). The output of the software is A and B, one for intervention and the other one for control group. In this way, the samples are divided into two intervention and control groups. The second colleague communicates with the first colleague using central randomization based on the order in which the participants entered the study and asks about the random assignment of the participant to a specific group, Blinding description: Metformin or metformin placebo will be coded in sealed envelopes by a project partner, other than the treating physician. Placebo is designed as pills that are similar in shape, size and color to the original Metformin drug.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Condition 1: Asthma. Condition 2: Metabolic Syndrome.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients receiving standard treatment for severe asthma attacks, according to the GINA guideline, based on random allocation using blockade, are treated with metformin 500 mg in tablets. The drug will start by giving one pill on the first day and increase to one capsule twice a day on the third day. This dose will continue until the end of the three-month follow-up period. Intervention 2: Control group: According to the GINA guideline, patients receive standard treatment for severe asthma attacks based on random allocation using blockade treated with a Pharmed placebo in the same shape as metformin tablets. The placebo will start by giving one pill on the first day and increase to one capsule twice a day on the third day. This dose will continue until the end of the three-month follow-up period.</i_freetext>
