Has anyone had success with pcos when taking vitamin d/medformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Metformin is the drug of choice for PCOS. I sugest working up to 1,000 mg twice day. Also, the herb Berberine, available in a health food store--same dose. Most of my PCOS patients are also hypothyroid--I treat with an appropriate dose of Armour Thyroid. Natural progesterone cream may also be helpful.
