I have pcos and am on sprintec and metformin. is sprintec a proper birth control to treat pcos and its symptoms like acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sprintec is one : Of many useful tools for pcos. It contains a low androgen progestin norgestimate which is useful for women with pcos and androgen sensitivity. Sprintec and tri-sprintec are the generics for ortho cyclen and ortho tri-cyclen. Sounds like a reasonable plan. Give it a try!
