Does metformin cause weight gain?

Actually it usually does the opposite and helps manage weight, but you can't rely only on the pill. I am managing my BP and sugar together, and my doctor always stresses that regular walking and less oil in food are the real game changers. Do get your thyroid and other levels checked by your doctor if you see sudden weight changes.

Haha absolutely not, in fact my belly and metformin have a silent war going on. It actually helps in cutting down the extra flab for most people, so don't worry about ballooning up. If you are gaining weight, you might want to check if you are secretly ordering midnight biryanis like me!

Bhai, metformin doesn't cause weight gain, but keeping a simple check on daily routine is what actually works. Just walk for 30 minutes daily after dinner and cut down on sweet tea and outside samosas. Routine tight rakhoge toh weight check mein rahega aur tablet apna kaam karegi.

I can only speak from my own experience of taking it for the last two years. Personally, I didn't gain even a single gram because of metformin, my weight actually dropped slightly when I started. Everyone's body reacts differently though, so it's best to ask your specialist if you feel it's affecting you.

Haan na, weight gain pressure is always there! But metformin se weight gain nahi hota, actually thoda loss hi hota hai starting mein. Bas stomach upset ka tension ho sakta hai starting mein. Once your body gets adjusted to it, everything becomes normal, don't worry.
