1. Diaformin/metformin are same and is prescribed to those with high blood sugar [diabetes], and is often seen/observed in women with PCOS who have insulin issues which affect weight gain and fertility.
. Clomid [clomiphene] is a fertility drug given to help women for ovulation, with irregular cycles.

2. Because PCOS can occur independently or secondary to other disease thus do check with your thyroid profile [under active thyroid], and since PCOS is due to low metabolism (digestive fire) thus drugs given to you will work/function by increasing the Metabolism by acting as deepana, pacahana,ushna,tekshna, sukshma,lekhana drugs and thus reducing the symptoms.

3. Avoid fatty food,curd,late night work,soyabean,milk,mustard oil,cabbage, and take moong dal,tambul,saindhav,tandulodak,coconut water, vegetable soups
