Metformin

Oral tablet

500 mg - 2000 mg

Metformin is one of the most widely prescribed oral medications for managing type 2 diabetes—and it can also support weight loss in select patients. It works by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose production in the liver, and helping stabilize blood sugar levels. At Metabolite Clinic, Metformin is sometimes used as part of a broader metabolic care plan, especially in patients with insulin resistance or PCOS.

Weight Loss with Metformin

While not a primary weight loss drug, Metformin can lead to modest weight loss (2–5%) in some individuals—especially those with insulin resistance or elevated fasting insulin levels. It may be most effective when combined with lifestyle changes and nutritional support aimed at reversing metabolic dysfunction.
