Hello,

Pioglitazone is a good drug for diabetes, although it does have some cardiac risk concern. Studies have indicated that it does work very well in patients with PCOS to stabilize glucose values. I am aware that in patients with PCOS it does decrease infertility rates and can help normalize FSH and LH levels, however I have not read any studies that this effect on stabilizing these hormones can occur in patients without PCOS.

I apologize, I am not in anyway trying to be pessimistic. There are a number of natural means to reduce LH levels: weight loss, low carb diet and an over the counter supplement called Inositol. These have been shown to lower the blood value of LH back to normal levels.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. David Girardi, Internal Medicine Specialist
