PCOS+metformin: NanooS452 ~ I dont think it matters whether you take it before or after in this case, the important thing being that you take it WITH food, because METFORMIN is a biguanide and lowers blood sugar, so have some on board before you take it. The dose you must discuss with you GYNAE thanks

Trust your doctor: a stranger that do not know anything about you or your medical condition could not advise you about medication, you need to trust the doctor that place you on this medication in the first place, if you are no longer trust your doctor change or get a second opinion from a local doctor.
