Summary

This study looked at whether a type of diabetes drug called SGLT2 inhibitors can help women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) better than the standard drug metformin. The researchers believe these drugs may work by reducing inflammation in the body. The study involved 82 women aged 18-45 with PCOS and a BMI of 20 or higher, and measured changes in menstrual cycles and markers of inflammation.
