BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Diabetes metformin

Recentally I was placed on metformin due to issue with my hormons. I am 24 and haven't had a normol set of periods longer than 2 months at a time. So the Dr. along with Birth control Pills placed me on metformin. But since all my family has diabetes, that all I know its used for! Any info you can help with?
if anyone can send me info at NightlyNinja2006@wikichat.com I'd really appreciate.

Metformin is Rx'd for PCOS sometimes. It works primarily on the liver, but works on all the endocrine systems.

google metformin and find the pdf monograph on it. Yes, I know it is hard wading through all that stuff, but it does give some more info on the med.
