Hallow Dear,
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (Disease) (PCOS or PCOD) is characterized by delayed irregular heavy menses associated with infertility. The other features include obesity, male type hair distribution, etc. There is reproductory hormonal imbalance with high insulin levels and high androgens in this condition.
Ovacet Tablet is a medicine that is used for the treatment of Low Folate Levels, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Vitamin D Deficiency and other conditions. Ovacet Tablet contains L-Methylfolate, Myo-Inositol, and Vitamin D3 as active ingredients. These medicines help in treatment of PCOS.
Yasmin is birth control pill which helps regularise the menses.
Metadoze in Metformin tablet which helps control the raised levels of Insulin.
In fact the treatment varies as per the aim. If pregnancy is desired, then some medicine to induce ovulation (like Clomiphene citrate or HMG/hCG combination is given along with Metformin and/or Myo inositol). If pregnancy is not desired and only irregularity of the menses is the concern, then cyclical use of some oral birth control pills is sufficient.
Usually PCOS is characterised by obesity. Hence, maintaining the BMI between 18 and 23.9 is very important. Suitable diet and exercise will help achieving this.
I hope this clarifies your doubts.
