Q: will metformin 500mg lessen the effectivity of diane 35 as contraceptive? is it okay to take both to treat pcos and still protected from getting pregnant?

: Metformin will not have a significant effect on the contraception accorded by "Diane 35". Oral bcp's is the correct treatment for "PCOS" to protect against later endometrial changes, unless pregnancy is desired, which may require ovulation induction.
