Did Glucophage Improve Your Hirsutism?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

My excess hair includes coarse hair on my chin, side burns, and softer hair along my lip, shoulders, chest, and then all the normal places. It requires daily maintenance. I was looking into this because my A1c was lingering in prediabetes and Iā€™m obese, but mostly for the hair. Right now I take Yasmin with no improvement. Anyone have positive experiences with this?

Hello!

Spironolactone has helped with hair growth - it's an anti androgen so it lowers my testosterone levels, which has helped thin out unwanted hair growth.

I take metoformin (glucophage) to help with my A1C numbers and weight loss.
