Metformin for PCOS

2017-04-23 17:09:14
Is 10mg of metformin once a day enough to induce my period in a week? I was recently diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome and the doctor prescribed 10mg per night and said ill get my period in 7-10 days however i did some online research and most people have much larger doses.

You have probably got the wrong medicine. Progesterone 10mg is given to induce periods. Metformin of now of a long term medicine. Please consult a gynaecologist for this
