Hello
I understand your concern.
This is not a big problem and has an easy treatment . The weight loss is due to Metformin. We need to put you a different drug
But before I prescribe you the treatment, you need to answer the following questions for proper dosages and good treatment.
1. What's your age ?
2. Whats your Height and weight ?
3. Since when do you have this problem ?
4. Do you have any other health problems except this problem?
5. Do you take any other medicines ?
6. Do you have any allergy to any medicines or otherwise?
7. Do you have any acidity problem ?
8. Do you drink or smoke ?
9. Any constipation problem ?
10. Any Drugs history ?
Please answer the above questions and private consult for the same.
