Metformin is give for insulin resistance cases. why do you want to fight against pcos by taking tablets for life long? 1st find out why you had pcos. Whether its because of your weight or sleep pattern its not because of pcos you gain weight its the other way around so pls try healthy lifestyle amd sleep pattern to have a life without tablets for this issue.
