Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Charles Mok ("Good Diet Enhances Metformin & Semaglutide Effects", 2024-06-17). The speaker explains that many patients who tolerate semaglutide can also tolerate metformin after stopping semaglutide; some patients stop metformin after achieving durable weight loss and habit change (e.g., adopting a Mediterranean diet), while others may require periodic cycles of medication (e.g., twice a year) rather than continuous high-dose therapy.

But typically, if you can tolerate the semaglutide when you come off it, you can tolerate the Metformin just fine. You go back on semaglutide, you can stay on the metformin if you want to. Some of our clients have decided not to continue Metformin because they got their weight off and they made it. It was long enough period of time where their habits changed and their desires for food that they picked change. You know, they went to a Mediterranean diet and watched it. There's other people that are going to need to do this probably two cycles a year for the rest of their life, versus taking the highest dose every week for the rest of your life.
