摘要：
The insulin-sensitizing agent metformin has been heralded as a novel therapy for women with polycystic ovary syndrome-associated anovulatory infertility. The author of this Viewpoint reviews the evidence from clinical trials and asks whether metformin will become the first-line therapy for ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome.
