Quick answer

PCOS care is built around your goals. The 2023 International Guideline describes different options for cycles, skin and hair, fertility and metabolic health, and healthy habits for everyone at any weight. This builder lists those options with typical monthly costs, for example generic metformin from about ₱2 per tablet, so you can walk into your consult prepared. It is not a prescription.

How it works

Paid PCOS programs abroad charge a monthly fee for a personalised care plan. This free version gives you the same starting point, made for the Philippines: the options the 2023 International Evidence-based Guideline describes for each goal, how strong the evidence is, typical peso costs from our checked price list, which kind of doctor usually handles it, and the lab checks worth asking about.

How options are chosen. Each goal maps to the treatments the guideline discusses for it. For example, for irregular cycles and unwanted hair the guideline says the combined pill could be recommended, with 35 mcg ethinylestradiol plus cyproterone (Diane-35, Althea) as second-line (Rec 4.2.4, 4.2.5). For metabolic health, metformin should be considered in adults with a BMI of 25 or higher (Rec 4.3.1). For fertility, letrozole is the first-line medicine to help ovulation (Rec 5.3.1). Healthy eating and movement are recommended for everyone, at any weight.

Evidence badges show how strong the research is: strong, moderate, limited or experimental. Inositol is shown honestly: it is a food supplement with no approved therapeutic claims in the Philippines, and the guideline rates its benefits as limited (Rec 4.7.1).

Trying to conceive. If you pick “getting pregnant now”, the plan leaves out the combined pill, spironolactone and GLP-1 medicines for that goal, and flags them under any other goal, because they are not used while trying to conceive. Ask your doctor how and when to stop them.

Costs are typical monthly ranges calculated from real Philippine drugstore prices, using commonly prescribed amounts only to estimate cost. Your doctor sets the actual amount. Prescription medicines are never sold or linked here.

Frequently asked questions

Is this plan a prescription?

No. It is a list of options the 2023 Guideline describes, to discuss with your doctor. Prescription medicines need a doctor's assessment of your health and history.

Pwede bang mabuntis ang may PCOS?

Yes, many people with PCOS get pregnant, some with help. Pick 'getting pregnant now' to see the guideline's options, including letrozole, and which medicines are paused while trying.

OB-GYN or endocrinologist: who should I see?

An OB-GYN is the usual first stop for cycles, diagnosis and fertility. An endocrinologist helps with blood sugar, cholesterol and weight-related treatment. A dermatologist helps with acne and hair.

Does inositol work for PCOS?

The 2023 Guideline says it could be considered based on personal preference, with limited clinical benefits, and it is experimental for fertility. In the Philippines it is a food supplement with no approved therapeutic claims.

Is PMOS the same as PCOS?

Yes. PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is the new name for PCOS, announced in The Lancet on 12 May 2026. It is the same condition with the same diagnosis and the same treatments. Both names will be used until the 2028 International Guideline update.
