Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
One of the common causes for irregular periods is PCOS which stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome.
This condition is associated with irregular periods,infertility,polycystic ovaries, abnormal hair growth, acne, insulin resistance.
It commonly occurs in women who are overweight, weight loss helps in this condition and may regularise the periods and increase chances of conception in women trying to conceive.
One of the medications commonly used is the glycomet that you mentioned. It would reduce the insulin resistance and help with weight loss.
It is effective and safe
Hope this helps

Hello,
Yes, the glycomet SR 500 is well indicated in your situation. It is going to help you loose weight as well as regulate your menstrual irregularity. Ask your gynac if she checked for polycystic ovarian syndrome. You should take the medication and quit worrying. If after the treatment you are still not feeling any changes, you still have to meet her for re-evaluation and better management.
Just give it some time.
