Hi

Glycomet contains metformin which will indirectly help in reducing weight by treating insulin resistance.It is especially useful in overweight and obese patients.But you also need to reduce your calorie intake and create a calorie deficit to lose the extra weight.Daily calorie requirement calculation and physical activity will help in achieving your goals.High protein intake will prevent any fatigue and keep you full between workouts.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
