I have pcos and i am on menterform how long do they take to work and how long should i wait to speak to my doctor again ?

3 months: Metformin can help women with PCOS in several ways. It can help regulate periods, help with weight loss and it can lower sugars if they are elevated. It takes several months to work so make an appointment for follow up in about 3 months after you start the medication.
