A member asked:

I was diagnosed as hypothyrodism and polycystic ovary what treatment should i take ? i currently taking metformin and duphaston

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Synthroid (thyroxine): Metformin is the right choice for polycystic ovary syndrome. Synthroid (thyroxine) will replace the thyroid hormone you are not making.
