          Abstract

          Resumen Conclusiones de los autores del estudio La metformina, asociada a intervenciones en el estilo de vida, puede tener un efecto favorable pequeño en el z-score del índice de masa corporal y en la resistencia a la insulina. Muestra un perfil de seguridad aceptable en niños y adolescentes con obesidad. La calidad de las pruebas disponibles es variable. Comentario de los revisores El tratamiento farmacológico de la obesidad podría ayudar a conseguir metas a corto y medio plazo, pero se desconoce su efecto a largo plazo. La utilización de la metformina, además de su modesto efecto sobre el índice de masa corporal, presenta efectos secundarios gastrointestinales frecuentes que pueden reducir el cumplimiento. Se podría valorar su uso individualizado en casos concretos de obesidad, sobre todo si presentan repercusión metabólica.

          Abstract Authors' conclusions Metformin associated with lifestyle interventions may have a small favorable effect on BMI z-score and insulin resistance. It shows an acceptable safety profile in children and adolescents with obesity. The quality of the available evidence is variable. Reviewers' commentary Obesity drug therapy could help to achieve targets in the short and medium term, but the effect in the long term remains unknown. Metformin has a modest effect on BMI and produces frequent gastrointestinal adverse events that could reduce completion of treatments. Individual use of metformin could be proposed in specific obesity cases, especially if they present metabolic consequences.
