Myocyst M Tablet 10's 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.

Myocyst M Tablet 10's 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 insulin sensitizer that improves insulin sensitivity (body cells utilize insulin effectively to produce glucose) and thus increases the effects of insulin.
