A member asked:
When will i start having results with metformin? i have been taking it for 2 weeks now for my pcos. i also want to know if it will help aid weightloss
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May take a few month: Metformin can improve the symptoms of PCOS, It is not likely to promote weight loss, conversely weight loss can improve the symptoms of PCOS. If the cycle does become regular with the current dose of metformin, the dose may need to be adjusted.
