How does Metformin work?
There are many hypotheses about how Metformin works for weight loss. The exact mechanism isn’t known, but most patients report a slight appetite and craving benefit. This change in appetite and cravings helps patients eat fewer calories overall, which leads to weight loss.
Some studies suggest that Metformin has a positive effect not only on appetite regulation but also the gut microbiome.

Common questions we hear
What is WeightWatchers Clinic?
WeightWatchers Clinic is a weight-loss program that couples behavior change with effective weight-loss medication. It provides members with ongoing, comprehensive access to a dedicated Care Team including doctors, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and fitness coaches; 1:1 virtual support; an award-winning app; and a supportive community.
What medication do you prescribe?
The exact medication that your Clinician will prescribe depends on your medical history, biology, and insurance coverage. When appropriate, your Clinician may prescribe GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (brand name Wegovy), liraglutide (brand name Saxenda), or tirzepatide (brand name Zepbound). When appropriate, your clinician may prescribe other medications with which other members have found success such as Metformin and combination Naltrexone and Bupropion. If your treatment plan isn’t working for you, talk to your WeightWatchers Clinic Care Team about adjustments or alternative plans.
Please note, some GLP-1 medications are experiencing intermittent nationwide shortages. See which medications are affected on the FDA shortage database.

Is medication included in my membership fee?
