Is Glycomet SR a lifetime drug?

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

I had consulted a diabetologist as my glycosylated hb was 6.3 (pre diabetes), now reduced to 6.1 However he recommended not to take any medicine. Recently I consulted a gynecologist, who has prescribed Glycomet SR 500 for weight loss & pcos. Will I have to take the medicine for lifetime if I start taking it. My insulin & fasting, PP blood glucose, fsh, lh are normal. I have hypothyroidism, facial hair, dark patches on neck, armpits. Weight: 90, height: 5'4"
