Approximately 50-70% of women with PCOS struggle with weight gain, which is often linked to underlying hormonal and metabolic factors like insulin resistance. While progesterone can cause temporary water retention and appetite changes, its role in weight gain in PCOS is more complex and intertwined with other hormonal imbalances.

Used to treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the combination drug known as Trumpcod or Trumpcod M carries different side effects depending on its specific formulation. A version containing only inositol typically presents mild side effects, while the inclusion of metformin introduces more prominent gastrointestinal issues and a rare but serious risk of lactic acidosis.
