Myo Inositol
About Myo Inositol
Myo Inositol is used to reduce the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes irregular periods, hormone imbalance, and ovulation problems in women of reproductive age.
Myo Inositol contains Myo-Inositol, which helps your body respond better to insulin, allowing cells to absorb glucose more effectively. By lowering insulin resistance, it restores hormonal balance and supports healthy ovarian function. This helps improve egg quality and makes menstrual cycles more regular in women with PCOS.
Take Myo Inositol exactly as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. Myo Inositol may sometimes cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, and gas. Please consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Myo Inositol or any other medicines. Consult your doctor before using Myo Inositol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Take Myo Inositol for the duration recommended by your doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Myo Inositol, as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.
