PCOD is a disease where there is hormonal imbalance. Depending on your complaints, examination, reports and stage of life treatment differs and it also needs more time so get yourself treated with patience. Meet Gynecologist in whom you have trust as you will need to go for long time to him/her. Overweight is very common so in case you have that reduction of weight helps tremendously.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. Your fasting and pp glucose levels look very good. Please also look at hba1c%, that will give a better idea. You may stop metformin 500 mg for a few days and then check the fasting & pp glucose, if levels remain in good control then continue the same. Apart from the drugs diet and exercise are equally important in diabetes control. Thanks.
