Metformin and PCOS
I'd say other than COCP metformin is likely the most prescribed medication and it can have many benefits I think of kind of like three main physiologic or pharmacodynamic effects that metformin has. Some of its effects are even believed to work through its changes it makes in the gut microbiome but we mainly think of it as an insulin sensitizer. And then there's a lot of data with things like for example myoanositol in acetylcysteine tends to improve fertility in the PCOS phenotype at substantial dosages.
