Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Metformin is a commonly used medicine for the treatment of hormonal imbalance associated with PCOS. It will help you in loosing weight also. It can be taken in a dosage of 500mg twice a day.
But most important is exercising to lose weight and becoming fit. If exercise is not done then the hormonal imbalance will still be there. Proper diet consisting of low carbohydrates, low fat diet with plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables is needed. Drink plenty of water. Do daily brisk walking for 40 minutes. Avoid junk food, pastries, colas.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
