Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Glycophase helps in decreasing the insulin resistance and hormonal pills helps in regularization of the cycles.
But along with these things life style modifications like exercise, taking nutritious diet etc. are needed to decrease additional weight.
Decrease in weight helps in correcting insulin resistance and hormonal levels.
Usually usage of hormonal pills for shorter period won't lead to weight gain.
Now,
-You can take digestive syrup if you are having problems like in
digestion etc.
-Wait and watch if you can get periods regularly in next cycles.
-Mainly try to decrease weight. Even 1 to 2kgs reduction in weight can have good effect on hormonal levels.
-If the irregularity in periods persists in next cycles also better to continue the tablets for 3 more months with your doctor's advice.
-Check for thyroid hormonal levels once.
