Thanks doctor for the reply. I also wanted to know that i have been suggested with metformin: glycomet 500 for pcos. Why metformin is suggested for pcos. And after pregnancy can one still continue to take metformin tablets.

Brief Answer:
Metformin lowers insulin resistance in women with PCO

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Polycystic ovary (PCO) patients are associated with increased insulin resistance. This increased insulin resistance is countered by Metformin tablets.

Metformin tablets can be continued even during pregnancy.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
