Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Weight Gain, HbA1c
Conditions
Brief summary
this is open labelled randomize control trial among women with PCOS. PCOS, an endocrine condition, affects 5%-15% of premenopausal women. PCOS is characterized by atypical menstruation, ovulation difficulties, hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, and other metabolic abnormalities. Metformin is now an option for PCOS. The clinical reactions to metformin are limited and varied. Novel SGLT2 inhibitors treat type 2 diabetes with weight loss, insulin resistance reduction, and cardiovascular benefits. There is little evidence on SGLT2 inhibitor effectiveness in PCOS patients.
