Hi,

There is no documented harmful interactions between biotin and metformin when taken together. Biotin is a form of vitamin B commonly prescribed to treat thinning or greying of the hairs. It does not cause increased hair growth on the face. Metformin is actually an anti-diabetic medication which is commonly prescribed in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome as it can decrease the insulin resistance seen in PCOS and thus helps in reducing body weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
