How It Works

Metformin belongs to a class of drugs called biguanides. It controls blood sugar in three ways:

• Decreases glucose production in the liver
• Improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin
• Delays glucose absorption from the intestines

In PCOS, it helps lower insulin levels, supports regular ovulation, and improves metabolic symptoms such as weight gain and acne.
