My doctor said that Glucophage would help if my hormones were restored

The doctor said that it would take about a year to notice the difference, but as long as I take it continuously. I, also, am taking Glucophage so I don't understand how Glucophage is going to change the hair situation...For what I know, Glucophage helps with losing weight and the insullin resistance not the hirsituism. Ask your doctor about Spironolactone. Good luck!
