There are many many kinds of drugs that women with PCOS take to help all the symptoms, but there is a type of drug that is important for women with IR and PCOS that is insulin sensitizing drugs such as Metaformin, Actos and Avandia. These drugs help balance the insulin levels in your body and in turn can also help balance out hormone levels wich makes it easier to mestrate. I hope you have lots of luck. Best Wishes!!
