Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Glucophage contains metformin and it is the recommended medicine for PCOS.
Metformin is associated with multiple abdominal side effects.
These symptoms are more common with normally made metformin tablet.
These symptoms are less common with extended release metformin tablets.
You should take the metformin along with food.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Hi tenibel ! I am sooo confuse if your short for psco mean polycystic ovarion syndrome and you are taking metformin which is for diabeties. Ok now side effects you read on internet . Let me explain every undesirable effect of medicine that we don't want. We called it side effect and it occur when you start medicine or when you take medicine for long time, depends upon your body. So be safe and consult your doctor again. be good and healthy . bye.
