Does metformin benefit pregnant women with PCOS?
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but no diagnosed diabetes, are less likely to have a late miscarriage or preterm birth if they take metformin either before or during pregnancy, a study suggests.
The authors, who believe they are the only researchers worldwide investigating the use of metformin in PCOS to reduce pregnancy-related conditions, say the results suggest that the drug may reduce late miscarriage and preterm delivery when used during pregnancy.
