How do I switch from another PCOS treatment to PCOS care?

Switching depends on what you currently take and why you take it. Give your physician the names, doses, and schedules of all PCOS treatments, including birth control, metformin, spironolactone, and supplements. Include medicines used for diabetes, blood pressure, acne, or hair concerns. Photos of your current labels may help avoid confusion.

Do not assume this product replaces every part of your current plan. It is not birth control, and it may not meet all needs related to menstrual bleeding or protection of the uterine lining. Results vary. If you already take metformin or spironolactone, starting this treatment without a clear plan could lead to duplicate doses.

A licensed physician in your state decides whether the switch is appropriate. They may review kidney function, potassium, blood pressure, and pregnancy risk. Ask for written instructions on the last dose of your old treatment and the first dose of the new one. Follow your new label exactly, and contact the pharmacy if the strength or dosage form is different from what you expected.
