Can a girl with PCOD take Metformin 500 mg, and will it help with weight/fat loss?
Metformin 500 mg is sometimes prescribed for women with PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), but it should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision. Metformin works by improving insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce some PCOD-related symptoms. In certain cases, it may lead to modest weight or fat loss, but it is not a guaranteed or standalone solution. Sustainable results usually require a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes alongside medical treatment.
