Hi,
Benforce M (Active ingredient metformin) is commonly prescribed for the treatment of PCOD. Primarily used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is found to be useful in treatment of infertility associated with PCOD by decreasing the elevated insulin levels. It should be best taken with meals to help reduce stomach or bowel side effects that may occur during the first few weeks of treatment. To avoid stomach upset, start with a very low dose (500 mg), taken with dinner. After a few weeks, the dose may be increased to 500 mg with breakfast and 500 mg with dinner. A few weeks later, the dose may be increased again to 500 mg with breakfast and 1 g with dinner.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
