I (22F) was diagnosed with PCOS in 2022 and during that time i was put on Diane 35 till my cysts went away and my cycle became normal. I did not have much idea back then that PCOS needs lifelong treatment and maintenance. Recently tiny cysts relapsed and i was having more frequent cycles (every 20days approx.), switched my gynaecologist, and this time, this guy has put me on Myo-inositol (tablet Corectia XT), Metformin 500, Spironolactone 25, all for twice daily. Along with that he has given me Diane 35 for a short period of time, as i have been facing hirsutism again.
I am an extremely occasional drinker, once in 6months type of drinker. I know alcohol should be avoided when you have PCOS and when you are on such medicines. But can I not have alcohol once in a rare while? For that should i skip the meds the day before i would be having alcohol? Cause i was seeing Metformin sometimes has extreme side effects and you should maintain 12hr gap atleast to be on the safe side, and also, Spironolactone might cause low blood pressure.
I know medicines should not be skipped, but once in a blue moon maybe? I don't think skipping those medicines for 1 day can cause any other severe side effects? Can they? Cause taking them with alcohol seems scarier, honestly. I have never had exposure to these meds before.
Please suggest.
