Hi SusieQ,

Actos and Avandia have been introduced too recently to have any results with them in combo with metformin. I know, endocrinologists prescribing them combined, but for PCOS metformin seems to be better if for nothing else: weight loss. Combination may be reasonalbe if somebody can not take higher doses of met for side effects. For your info
