The effect of medications actually differs for each individual. On the efficiency of metformin to reduce weight, it still depends on the person's metabolism and its effects. However, studies have shown a big percentage of people losing weight while taking metformin, probably due to the gastrointestinal disorders that are felt when taking it.

Hope this helps.
