Can I use oral contraceptives while on the Insulite PCOS System?
We do not recommend oral contraceptives because they are synthetic hormones that mask some of the symptoms of PCOS rather than fixing the problems. Treating absent menses with oral contraceptives does not treat the underlying disorder of PCOS and when the contraceptives are discontinued, the PCOS symptoms will persist. Our philosophy is to treat the cause of the disorder so that there is no longer a need for using contraceptives for inducing menses.
