Hi,

Yes, it is safe to take while suffering from PCOD.

Obimet SR (metformin) basically prescribed to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus is also found to be useful in women with polycystic ovarian disease.

It helps in regularization of the menstrual cycles, reduces insulin resistance associated with PCOD thus improves the chances of pregnancy.

It is quite safe to take this medication while you are trying to become pregnant and also found to be safe during pregnancy as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
