Hi Beth. Avandia and Actos are the two new insulin sensitizers that came on the market last summer. They are from a group called "glitizones" and many people are happy with them. Dr. Cataldo from Stanford is really high on them and thinks they are the drugs of the future. They don't have the same mechanism of action as metformin but they do regulate the insulin. You might ask about them!

Take care! Molly -----Original Message----- From: Woodmen <anonymous@obgyn.net> To: Multiple recipients of list PCOS-MEDICATION <pcos-medication@forum.obgyn.net> Date: Thursday, March 30, 2000 6:29 PM Subject: Re: Rezulin's Gone, and Metformin makes me ill
