INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that Metformin produces weight loss in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
Unclear. Only partial support appears: one network meta-analysis ranks a low-calorie diet plus metformin as most effective for weight loss in PCOS, and one 12-week trial reports BMI reduction with a metformin-containing combination. Neither isolates metformin alone, so the claim is only partly covered.
