A member asked:
What are the long term side effects of metfomin taking for insulin resistance..pcos? when should i stop taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin use: Metformin is a very valuable tool for decreasing insulin resistance and you should follow your MD's advice on when to continue or not. Like any drug, there are side effects, but the benefit far exceeds the risk in PCOS patients.
