About Hersitol Tablet

Hersitol Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary/ovarian syndrome is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with numerous small follicles. Symptoms include irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.

Hersitol Tablet is composed of two medicines, namely: Myo-inositol and Metformin. Myo-inositol reduces blood glucose levels and improves the ovulation process in women with PCOS. Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine that belongs to the class of biguanides. The majority of women with PCOS have higher insulin levels. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer that improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose) and thus increases the effects of insulin.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Hersitol Tablet include nausea, taste changes, diarrhoea, dizziness, stomach pain, and loss of appetite. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention. 

Before starting Hersitol Tablet , let your doctor know if you have any medical history of heart, kidney and liver diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Hersitol Tablet . Hersitol Tablet may affect your blood sugar levels that can alter your driving ability, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. It is not recommended to consume alcohol along with Hersitol Tablet . Hersitol Tablet is not recommended in children younger than 10 years of age.

Medicinal Benefits

Hersitol Tablet is used to treat polycystic ovary/ovarian syndrome. It consists of Myo-inositol and Metformin. Myo-inositol is a vitamin-like substance. It reduces blood glucose levels and improves the ovulation process in women with PCOS. Metformin is an antidiabetic medicine that belongs to the class of biguanides. The majority of women with PCOS have higher insulin levels. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer that improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose) and thus increases the effects of insulin. This further decreases the inflammation in PCOS conditions and regularizes the ovulation process.
