Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Let me know your present thyroid profile status.
Is it controlled or deranged?
If you have been diagnosed as PCOS then metformin is the drug of choice.
Metformin not only helps in reduction of weight but also helps in normalization of your over weight.
This medicine acts as insulin sensitizers and very safe.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
