Ovasitol & Metformin
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor wants me to start taking metformin again to help with my symptoms. However I have been considering taking ovasitol. Has anyone taken these together? I have taken metformin in the past & couldnt take the side effects so I stopped. Now my dr wants me to try the extended release. I don't want to be on metformin long term though.

I take ovasitol alone. I refuse to take metformin. My ovasitol is similar to metformin in terms of what it helps with and I have no side effects with it.

I had ibs & nausea. I took it for several years & didn't have any issues but the last 6 months I took it was rough.

What side effects did you experience? My doctor suggested it, but I like to research a medication before I say yes.
