Metformin is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes and can be prescribed off-label for weight loss. While generally well-tolerated, metformin can have mild gastrointestinal side effects. A rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis can occur, especially in people with kidney issues. Do not use metformin if you have severe kidney disease. Talk to your clinician about any concerns and review the safety information before starting.

How metformin works
Metformin helps manage blood sugar levels in a few ways:
Reduces sugar production in the liver, helping to lower blood sugar levels.
Improves insulin sensitivity, so your body can use sugar more efficiently through the gut.
Decreases sugar absorption from food in the intestines.
Metformin’s primary purpose is blood sugar control, which can help with weight management for some people by reducing hunger and cravings.
