   Hello ,

   one week is a very very short period for metformin to work , it needs two weeks to reach the maximum effect , and more than 1 month to cause any weight loss ,

   The action of metformin is greater when the patient starts a healthy diet simultanously , don’t forget that ,

   2500 mg is a high dose to start with , and 1000 mg (in two doses ) would be better .
