There could be several reasons of constipation. Vitamins generally have a mild laxative effect so that should not be the reason. I hope your thyroid profile has been done. If not please consult your treating doctor for the same. For constipation, take plenty of fluids, high fibre diet and hot milk at bedtime.

Metformin has been given for pcod. This condition may cause insulin resistance leading to high blood sugar. This drug helps to keep the insulin resistance normal thus helping in treatment of pcod. Letrozole has been given for ovulation.

Hi. I have pcod from my school days, I use to take glycomet 500 mg as proscribed by my gynecologist couple of years ago. I conceived coz of this tablet. I'm still having pcod and irregular periods due to stress and tension. Which is y i've put on weight. I've started work from home. I work night shift. Just wanted to know if I can continue glycomet 500 mg again. It won't create any problem for me, right?;. I have a daughter of 7.5 yrs. If I can take glycomet 500 mg. For how long should I take, for how many months.

Pcod is a treatable not a curable disease. Hence it's better to continue with metformin as much as possible to keep it in control. There are no severe side effects nor does it affect children. Along with the metformin, I would also recommend a healthy lifestyle and diet and also getting your thyroid levels checked.

Yes, there are alternatives to metformin. You need to talk to your doctor about intolerance to metformin and he or she can prescribe other medications.

Try changing the brand of metformin. Sometimes some formulation can lead to stomach upset. You donât seem metformin intolerant, as you were tolerating janumet. You may get relief after changing the brand. Also I will suggest taking a deworming tablet.

Dipti ji, Thanks for the query.
Please tell me why are you on Metformin 850 mg? Because usually there is no drug needed to treat pre-diabetes. Since there are no relevant details given like lipid levels, glucose levels, HbA1c% & BP readings. There is no way to comment. Thanks.
