Is metformin good for weight loss?
My doctor suggested Metformin for my pre-diabetes, and I'm also trying to lose weight. Is Metformin known to be good for weight loss in addition to blood sugar control?

Dekho, while some people do experience weight loss on Metformin, it's not primarily a weight-loss drug. It's usually prescribed for conditions like PCOS or diabetes. Best to talk to your doctor about your weight concerns specifically, they might have other suggestions.

Yes, it can sometimes help with weight loss as a side effect, especially if insulin resistance is involved. But it's not a direct weight loss pill.

Always, always talk to a doctor before starting any medication, especially if your primary goal is weight loss. Metformin has specific indications, and taking it without proper medical guidance might not be safe or effective for you. Get it checked properly.

I know the struggle of wanting to lose weight and looking for solutions. It's tough, and sometimes you just want a quick fix. But relying on medications meant for other conditions for weight loss can be disheartening if it doesn't work. Please discuss your weight journey with a good doctor.
