A member asked:

I have pcos and im pregnant. can i continue to take metformin while pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and 'no': Medically lot's of data published in europe on its safety during pregnancy to treat diabetes and pcos patients have high risk gestational diabetes but in usa fda has not approved metformin in pregnancy.
