Question Improvement with meds?

Any of you that are taking Metformin or Glucophage (sp) have you seen much improvement with the facial hair growth? I am starting Metformin and my Dr gave me the impression that the facial hair will improve greatly. Have you had that experience?

Thanks.....

Hopeful

I personally have not had any improvement with Aldactone or Metformin. But some women have.

Everyone responds differently so you should try it out.

Most women are on Aldactone (spironolactone) for the excessive hair or a combination of spiro and gluc (like me).

My dr. told me that the reduction in hair won't be noticeable for 6-12 months. There are other things you can do in the meantime like shaving, etc if it's too excessive.
