Weight loss medicine

Asked for Female, 38 years

Hi. I just wanted to ask that is Glucophage / Metformin good/safe for weight loss even if a nondiabetic person uses it? And what do you suggest that a person should go for lipo surgery or not? If yes which is the best doctor for the job in Lahore. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Dear Patient,

Thank you for your query. I do not recommend Glucophage for use in healthy individual for weight loss. Has the person tried healthy eating and regular exercise? Does obesity run in the family? I would recommend the patient to meet a bariatric surgeon for an opinion on the need and benefits of liposuction.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Nutritionists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
