It is indicated for the treatment of several conditions including Androgen Deficiency Syndrome, Diabetes Mellitus, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hypogonadism, and Obesity.

In the case of Obesity, Metformin HCl helps by reducing the amount of sugar absorbed by the body, thereby controlling excessive body fat.
