Hello
femilon contains a low dose hormone.It normally doesnt cause migraines. Unless you are sensitive to any active ingredient of the tablet,its safe enough. Its a good drug for PCOS.

PCOS causes weight gain.The pills nowadays have low dose hormones which dont cause as much weight gain as before. Diet and physical exercise are a must. I would suggest that you complete the course. If the migraine is manageable by medication,that should solve the problem.
1. Maintain a diet chart. Consult a dietician.
2. Record your weight on the 1st of every month
3. Physical exercise is a must
4.Complete the femilon course.
5.You can take paracetamol/ibuprofen for headache
6.If at all your symptoms are not managed you may have to change the brand of the medicine.Consult your doctor for that.
