A member asked:
What should you know before starting metformin for pcos (polycystic ovary syndrome)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: What you should know is what your doctor has told you. If you have not been told anything find a better doctor. In the meantime go online and look at articles -designed for patients not doctors - related to metformin and PCOS.
