Hi, I have PCOS, my OBGYN already put me on Metformin Hydrochloride 1 gm, Letrozole and Folic Acid. I want to start below supplementary medicines on top of what I'm already taking. Can anyone advice?

1. Paba

2. Myo-Inositol

3. D Chiro Inositol

4. Should I go for Pregnitude which contains Folic Acid and Myo-Inositol

5. Should I go for Vitamin B Complex instead of Paba (as far as I know Paba is part of Vitamin B-Complex)

Can the experts advice?

Also, can my husband take some of the above medicine specially Vitamin B-Complex, Myo-Inositol? or he should go for some other medicine? any insight will be really helpful..

Sadly beamom we are unable to provide medical advice and with specific prescribed medication, do always check with your consultant.

Very warm wishes
