Abstract

The preferred treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome, which affects women of fertile age, is diet and lifestyle interventions - especially in association with overweight. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that metformin has a beneficial effect on many of the syndrome's manifestations. Norwegian physicians should therefore consider metformin treatment of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
