Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old. Can I use Diane 35 once a day with Neodipar 500 mg twice a day for PCOS treatment?

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

It would be better if you send me a detailed gynecological, medical, drug, and obstetric history. Have you had blood tests and a transvaginal scan for PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease)?

If you have been investigated recently and confirmed with polycystic ovary and are suitable for these medications, it is fine, but unnecessarily taking them will cause the worst effects. If you have been experiencing irregular or scanty periods and abnormal hair growth on the chin, arms, forearms, face, etc, along with weight gain, then to regulate cycles I suggest you can have Daine 35 (Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol) only for three months. For Neodipar (Metformin) 500 mg twice daily, I cannot confirm you without seeing your recent blood work and levels of sex hormones, including serum progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, insulin, FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), and thyroid function test. On day two of periods, take a pelvic scan (transvaginal if married) outside periods days. Neodipar, if taken haphazardly without indication, can cause lifelong diabetes. So it has to be taken with precaution and proper advice. To prevent PCOD, you should have a better, healthy lifestyle and some diet precautions. I suggest it is better to follow these first:

  1. Walk daily and exercise regularly to maintain a balanced weight and BMI (body-mass index).
  2. Have home-cooked food with less oil, salt, sugar, and spice. Include lots of fruits, vegetables, and water.

I hope you get my point.

Regards.
