Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you decided to do something which is going to do more harm in compare to benefits. Use of glycomet without prescription is never advised and it had lot of side effects including lactic acidosis. You are right in saying that it is used for weight loss but not for a normal individual. If you want to loose weight first focus on exercise and than on diet. Use of medication is last strategy and using without prescription is almost equal to suicide.


'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
