A member asked:
I take 100mg metformin daily night time (2tablets). gyno said 150mg. am i ruining the treatment by taking less? i feel like 3 tablets are a lot. pcos

100mg =very low dose: 100mg of Metformin is a very small dose. Most women with PCOS are on much higher doses (1000mg to 2000mg). I don't think 100mg is going to help you that much. However, it is a good idea to start at a low dose and increase the dose over time to avoid intestinal side-effects. Best wishes!
