HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may not need to be on the medication for a prolonged period of time.
This medication helps to reduce the insulin resistance that can be associated with PCOS, it can also help to regularize your periods and increase the chance of conception if you are trying to conceive.
I hope this helps
