Does glucophage cause weight loss?
In most of the studies of Glucophage before it was approved, people on Glucophage lost weight (1.4 to 8.4 pounds on average). However, the people in these studies who were not taking Glucophage also lost weight. The difference between the groups was not significant, meaning that there was no statistical difference between the two groups. In these studies, people were taking Glucophage to treat type 2 diabetes. It is not known if Glucophage has any effect on weight in people who do not have diabetes.
