Hi,
Your doctor has put you on a treatment typical for PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome).
Siphene is the trade name of clomiphen, a drug used in those women who have hormonal imbalance.
Glycomet is the trade name of metformin, a drug used to lower blood sugar and also in PCOS.
As Glycomet lowers blood sugar, that makes you feel dizzy and headache. You can check your blood sugar at the moment you are feeling dizzy, and I am sure, the results will be "low blood sugar" or "hypoglycemia".
If you find low sugar readings, have something sugary to eat to bring it back to normal levels again.
APCOD sachet is the powder form of vitamin D.
As you may see, the problem is related to the use of Glycomet. I would suggest to talk to your doctor to reduce its dose or to stop using it.
Hope it helped!
