Question
A diabetic patient has noticed that their spouse has experienced a significant reduction in diabetes symptoms over the past three years, along with a notable weight loss. After undergoing blood sugar tests and starting a combination treatment with Dapoxetine and metformin, blood sugar levels have been controlled, but the weight continues to drop. The patient inquires whether this weight loss is due to the long-term use of metformin.
Answer
Metformin can have a weight-reducing effect on overweight diabetic patients, but it does not cause weight loss in patients with normal weight. It is recommended to continue treatment under the guidance of a doctor and wish the patient a speedy recovery.
