>I am currently on 1700 mg of Glucophage daily (2X/day of the 850mg). It took

>have been on this medication for a total of about 4 months, with the last
>month at the higher dose. While I seem to feel better, I have only lost
>about 4-5 pounds. I am thinking that I should give this regimen a few more
>months before looking for something else. The thing is, I have access to
>Avandia at no cost (family works for the manufacturer). I was wondering
>whether these two drugs are comparable and in what dosages? I have read that
>sometimes the Avandia is prescribed concurrently with the Glucophage. Any
>info would be most helpful. I have a very good RE, who is thankfully very
>open to suggestions and is very informed on PCOS, but I would like some
>information on this thought before I go asking for my medication to be
>changed. thanks bunches...Kristin
