Hello and welcome to the forum,
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.

Ovacet contains a vitamin inositol along with another vitamin folate, vitamin d and calcium. If the composition is not available at your store, try buying only plain inositol tablets. Folic acid and calcium with vitamin D3 tablets are easily available every where.

Unfortunately no other brand that I could find contains the same composition as ovacet. Also these are simple vitamins and calcium and are not aimed primarily to restore the hormonal imbalance in PCOD.

If you have not got a PCOD profile testing done, get it tested on day 1 on menses. If there are hormonal imbalance treatment needs to be targeted against them for best results. Also treatment in PCOD depends upon if the female desires pregnancy or just regular periods. Treatment is different for both.
Other drugs used are metformin, cyproterone and clomiphene depending upon what the patient wants [ pregnancy or periods]. So please discuss these with your doctor if you have not already done it.
Hope this helped.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
