Overview

Metformin + myo-inositol is a combination therapy being investigated for the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Metformin is a biguanide small molecule that acts as an insulin sensitizer by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which leads to reduced hepatic glucose production and improved peripheral insulin sensitivity. Myo-inositol is a carbocyclic sugar that serves as a second messenger in the insulin signaling pathway and is involved in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) signaling, potentially improving oocyte quality and ovulation. This specific combination is being evaluated in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial conducted by Rashid Latif Medical College (NCT04204044) to compare its efficacy against monotherapy in restoring spontaneous menstrual cycles, reducing body mass index (BMI), and improving the overall biochemical and clinical profile of women with PCOS.
