About Inositol+metforminsr
Inositol+metforminsr is a combination medicine used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary/ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with numerous small follicles. Symptoms include irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.
Inositol+metforminsr is composed of two medicines, Inositol and Metformin. Inositol is a vitamin (vitamin B8) like substance. It reduces blood glucose levels and improves ovulation in women with PCOS. Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine that belongs to the class of biguanides. The majority of women with PCOS have higher insulin levels. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer that improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose) and thus increases the effects of insulin.
