The study will be carried out at the hospital of the medical school of sao paulo (HC-FMUSP) and the goal is to compare the effects of the administration of myo-inositol in relation to the effects of metformin in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance or glucose intolerance. Menstrual cycle, hyperandrogenism, chronic inflammatory process, carbohydrate metabolism, hepatic steatosis will be evaluated. In total, 60 women in the reproductive period, with a variable age between 18 and 36 years old will be recruited and randomized in two groups: intervention- myo-inositol for 6 months, control group will use metformin also for 6 months.

It is a comparative and non-inferiority study of myo-inositol in relation to metformin. They will be divided into two groups of 30 patients: Group I (control) - they will receive metformin 850 mg, orally, twice a day; Group II (experiment) - they will receive myo-inositol 2g + folic acid 200mcg, orally, twice a day. ;
