Glucophage contains metformin, it is a drug used to treat diabetes, not slimming. Nevertheless, actually taking metformin-containing drugs is associated with weight maintenance or a moderate reduction in weight, which is especially beneficial in patients with impaired sugar levels. It is difficult for me to say what is the reason why your weight has increased. Perhaps it is worth looking at your diet in terms of composition, calorie content or time of taking meals. Sometimes intense effort compared to too low-calorie diet can cause the body to go into a state of accumulation of stores. Sometimes also an increase in muscle mass in the course of weight loss, accompanied by physical activity (muscle development) may contribute to the improvement of the figure, but not necessarily to the decrease in body weight. I would suggest my menu and physical activity plan to be evaluated by a specialist - e.g. a dietitian. About the observed effects, please talk to the doctor who prescribed Mrs. Glucophage. Perhaps, if he thinks that in your case the reason for being overweight are metabolic disorders, he will want to perform some additional diagnostic tests.

Who I talk to is who they gained weight after glucophage that, for this reason I stopped it, because as much as 5kg+ with constant eating habits, sugar also went up, surprisingly.
