There sometimes could be side effects from long term use. You must be aware of danger signs like headaches, calf muscle pains. If these things are repeatedly seen plz consult. Otherwise you would benefit from life style modifications like exercise and change in diet habit..

No side effects The only treatment of PCOs is exercise and maintain a healthy body mass index then you would not require any medication
