Official Answerby Drugs.comMetformin (brand name: Glucophage) will be in your system for 96.8 hours which is approximately 4 days.Metformin has an elimination half-life of approximately 17.6 hours.It takes approximately 5.5 x elimination half-life for a medicine to be cleared from your body which is 5.5 x 17.6 hours = 96.8 hours for metformin.However other factors to consider include:1. How much and how often you have taken the drug.2. Your metabolic rate – a slower metabolism will increase the time a drug remains in your system.3. Your age and health – older age and poor health will generally increase the time the drug stays in your system.4. Body mass – generally the bigger you are the longer a drug will remain in your system.For more information see:<a href="https://www.drugs.com/pro/metformin.html" target="_blank">https://www.drugs.com/pro/metformin.html</a>"</blockquote>
