Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Currently available medications for PCOS are symptom(s) oriented but have limitations because of its complex pathophysiology. The most preferred drug against PCOS is metformin which act as an insulin sensitizer to improve insulin-glucose metabolism and anovulatory cycles in PCOS. However, its use is associated with various side effects such as bloating, diarrhea and nausea. Thus, it is imperative to explore various other alternatives to combat this gynecological problem.

Detailed Description

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in reproductive age women, with a prevalence between 5%-15%. Currently, sedentary lifestyle, excessive intake of junk food and increasing prevalence of obesity has been associated with rise in the incidence of PCOS.
