About Polyova-M Tablet

Polyova-M Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary/ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with numerous small follicles. Symptoms include irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.

Polyova-M Tablet is composed of two medicines, Inositol and Metformin. Inositol is a vitamin (vitamin B8) like substance. It reduces blood glucose levels and improves ovulation in women with PCOS. Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine that belongs to the class of biguanides. The majority of women with PCOS have higher insulin levels. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer that improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose) and thus increases the effects of insulin.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Polyova-M Tablet include nausea, taste changes, diarrhoea, dizziness, stomach pain, and loss of appetite. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, please seek medical attention if they occur. 

Before starting Polyova-M Tablet , let your doctor know if you have any medical history of heart, kidney and liver diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Polyova-M Tablet . Polyova-M Tablet may affect your blood sugar levels, which can alter your driving ability; hence, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better.
