Hello,

Melmet 500 is a great anti-diabetic medication, which increases insulin sensitivity. It has the benefit of promoting, at least to some degree, weight loss. I have not heard of any issues with Melmet regarding weight gain, although everyone's metabolism is different. It is at least possible but weight gain would not be a typical reaction to this medication. I suspect that perhaps another medication that you are using might be causing some of the weight gain more so than the Melmet.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. David Girardi, Internal Medicine Specialist
