Metformin slims because it reduces the appetite for controlling and keeping blood sugar levels constant, but this is not a medicine to lose weight.
Metformin is a medicine used to control type 2 diabetes and can sometimes be indicated in the treatment of some cases of obesity, especially with a large deposit of abdominal fat, a situation that usually generates resistance to insulin.
Metformin is a medicine of the oral hypoglycemic class and should be ingested according to medical prescription and physician-adjusted doses, especially in cases of abdominal obesity with insulin resistance.
Reducing calorie intake in cases of overweight and dietary sugar in cases of obesity and diabetes is very important to the outcome of treatment even by taking metformin as well as the usual glycemic control in diabetes.
All medications have side effects and contraindications and should therefore only be taken under medical prescription considering the risks and benefits of taking them.
