Q.

Postoval and Glucophage

My dr recently put me on Provera and then Postoval with Glucophage 500mg once a day. I do have PCO, why do they do it. Can it cause nausea, dizziness and headaches?

I presume that the Provra and Postoval are to regulate your cycle and the Glucophage is to treat insulin resistance. These can cause the side effects you describe but they usually get better with time. Remember to take the Glucophage with meals.
