Female Infertility - how long Metformin should be taken for infertility?

Answers (1)

10 Nov 2010

I have seen metformin used long term in female patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. This can be used until a positive pregnancy test and then it is stopped.

In polycystic ovarian syndrome metformin makes cells more sensitive to insulin, may help make ovulation and menstrual cycles more regular, prevent type 2 diabetes, and add to weight loss when a diet is followed.
