Description
Px7 500mg/600mg Tablet SR is a combination medicine containing Metformin 500mg and Myo-Inositol 600mg. It is prescribed mainly for the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), particularly when insulin resistance is associated with the condition.
PCOS can be associated with irregular menstrual cycles, difficulty with ovulation, hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance. Px7 may help improve insulin sensitivity and support hormonal and reproductive function when used as part of an overall PCOS management plan.
Uses of Px7 Tablet
Px7 may be prescribed for:
- Management of PCOS
- Insulin resistance associated with PCOS
- Supporting regular menstrual cycles
- Supporting ovulation and ovarian function
- Improving insulin sensitivity
Treatment should be combined with appropriate diet, physical activity and weight-management measures when recommended by the healthcare professional.
How Px7 Works
Metformin improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and helps reduce excessive glucose production by the liver.
Myo-Inositol supports insulin-signalling pathways and may help improve ovarian function in women with PCOS.
Together, these ingredients can help address insulin resistance and associated hormonal disturbances in PCOS.

Take Px7 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is generally taken with or immediately after food and should be swallowed whole with water. Do not crush, chew or break the sustained-release tablet.
Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor. Improvement in menstrual regularity may take several months of continuous treatment.
