Hi,

Crisanta is not a steroid, it is combined oral contraceptive tablet with having estrogen and progesterone in the form Ethinyl estradiol and Drospirenone. In polycystic ovarian syndrome, reproductive hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance can be seen leading to symptoms like irregular periods, anovulation and sometimes infertility.

So, the treatment should be aimed to treat the symptoms. Crisanta by correcting the reproductive hormonal imbalance, can help in regularization of menstrual cycles. Whereas metformin helps in decreasing insulin resistance. So, you can follow your doctor's suggestion.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
