A MediGuard answered. Metformin can cause a loss of appetite, which is thought to be the cause of the weight loss in patients taking metformin. Metoformin is taken to help control blood glucose levels-it is FDA approved to treat diabetes and is mainly used for this condition.
Metformin has little or no effect on body weight compared with placebo in type 2 diabetes, although it causes weight loss relative to sulfonylureas, since sulfonylureas are associated with weight gain. There is some evidence that metformin is associated with weight loss in obesity in the absence of diabetes.
