Although you have not specified why you have been prescribed metformin but I presume that you may be having deranged blood sugar levels or other issues like PCOD. In both the cases Metformin is very effective since it reduces Insulin resistance and helps in normal glucose metabolism. Metformin can not cause significant weight loss.You should definitely seek help before thinking to stop this medicine. Let me know if any further queries. Wishing you good health.Dr Nitin Sethi, Noida
