A member asked:
My 2 hour glucose test was littlel elevated , i was diagnosed with pcos which is better forxiga or metformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin: part of pcos is insulin resistance. Metformin works on insulin resistance and farxiga does not. We also have more long term safety data on metformin which we dont have on farxiga. As long as metformin is well tolerated i would always prescribe that one first for pcos.
