Hi,

To help you conceive. Although obimet is commonly prescribed to treat diabetes, however it is commonly prescribed to treat infertility associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Obimet helps in regulating the menstrual cycles and inducing ovulation (release of egg from the ovary) thus increasing your chances of getting you pregnant.

It also reduces insulin sensitivity which helps you to lose weight. Continue taking it as prescribed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
