Yes, metformin does promote weight loss, but it is not a diet drug, it is an oral hypoglycaemic agent, and thus it is used for the treatment of Type II Diabetes. The buzz about metformin is the weight loss it causes in obese patients, thus it sensitises their body to insulin on more than one level, thus it it the first line of treatment in obese Type II diabetics. It has not been approved as a weight loss tool in people without Diabetes, so I wouldn't advise trying to get some without a prescription first! (and a valid reason for doing so)

Metformin (Glucophage) not approved by FDA for loosing weight. Metformin hydrochloride improves glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Fresh fruits and Vegetables plus alot of moving around is sure to help you loose weight.

Metformin stops weight gain in pediatric patients on atypical antipsychotics. It does not help losing weight already gained in children and adults.
