A member asked:
Can the metformin really help with weight loss for those people who have pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Metformin should not be taken primarily for weight loss, it's inconsistent. Many of my patients feel metformin helps them with weight, but don't count on it doing anything for sure.
