Hello,
- Metformin is a drug which helps with the hormonal imbalances, weight changes and diabetes, which is associated with PCOS
- Ovanac is a medicine that helps with to induce ovulation. It will help with conceiving
- Metformin is a drug you need to continue. Ovanac needs to be used along with timed intercourse to help you conceive. You do not need to choose between the two as they have different actions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
