Question

I'm dealing with obesity and my endocrinologist put me on Glycomet SR 850, twice a day for the next three months. I'm wondering if this medication will help me lose weight and how exactly it works. Could you explain it to me?

Glycomet SR 850 is a medication for type 2 diabetes management, not primarily for weight loss. However, weight loss may occur as a secondary effect

Question

I'm dealing with some issues related to pcos, like acne on my face, irregular periods, and hair growth on various parts of my body and face. I did an ultrasound, and it showed a cyst on my ovary. The doctor prescribed me some pills which worked when I took them, but once I stopped, all these problems came back. I'm wondering why this happens and what I can do about it? What other treatment options are there, or do I need to continue with the pills indefinitely?
