Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Your doctor has prescribed you glycomet which contains metformin mainly an anti diabetic medicine but can have various other uses.Meformin is related to loss of weight in various studies and trials.But this medicine is not used only to reduce the weight.This is its beneficial effect in obese people.Along side you must not stop your exercise activity.
It is also a very effective medicine for PCOD. It helps to regularize menstruation also.
So take medicine in time.Take care.
Hope this helps.
