Inositol is a fair supplement. You can take it after discussing with your doctor. Pcos is a syndrome of multiple metabolic disturbances in one place.
Next Steps
Continuous bleeding needs proper further evaluation. Things require proper investigations.
For further assistance, consult a Gynaecologist.
For any respiratory related queries and appointment, can consult me. Would be glad to assist.

Do not start inositol just for weight loss or based on an ultrasound appearance of polycystic ovaries. PCOS requires clinical and laboratory correlation, and bleeding for more than 25 days needs prompt gynaecology review before adding supplements; pregnancy, anaemia and other causes must be checked. Inositol may help selected patients with PCOS, but it is not a substitute for this evaluation and there is no safe âstandard doseâ to advise blindly here. I can review your reports and medicines in consultation.
Next Steps
See a gynaecologist promptly for examination and blood counts/ferritin; do not continue or adjust tranexamic acid without the prescriberâs guidance. Weight management should follow assessment of diet, activity and metabolic tests.
Health Tips
Go to urgent care if bleeding soaks a pad hourly, or if you have dizziness, fainting, breathlessness, severe pain or marked weakness.

May be considered in PCOS, but your prolonged bleeding and current medications, please consult a gynecologist before starting it to assess the bleeding and choose the right treatment.

Inositol is a reasonably safe supplement that's often tried for PCOS and insulin resistance, so it's a fair thing to explore.
Next Steps
Please ask your treating doctor for the right dose, since you're already on several other supplements and medicines together.
Health Tips
Your continuous bleeding for over 25 days also needs its own follow-up, separate from the weight or supplement question.
