Metformin+Myo-Inositol is a combination of two medicines: Metformin and Myo Inositol. This medicine is used in the treatment of Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine which helps to regulate menstrual cycle by improving the insulin sensitivity. This helps in regularizing the menstrual cycles in women. Myo-inositol is safe and effective and acts as natural insulin sensitizer which helps to reduce androgen (male) hormones and restores ovulatory function in females.

The use of Metformin+Myo-Inositol is associated with common side effects like nausea, altered taste, diarrhea, stomach pain and loss of appetite.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a medical condition seen in women of childbearing age. PCOS causes irregular menstrual cycle (periods), excess levels of androgens (high level of male hormones) and polycystic ovaries (enlarged ovaries with fluid-filled sacs or follicles). Signs and symptoms include raised insulin levels leading to diabetes, irregular periods or absence of periods, weight gain, oily skin or acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) usually on the face, chest, back or buttocks and thinning of hair.

Yes, the use of Metformin+Myo-Inositol can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or with antacids can help prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medicine.
