Indications

Delcyst 500 is used for the treatment and prevention of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anovulation, menstrual problems like amenorrhea, and complaints related to high levels of male hormones like excessive hair growth (hirsutism), hair loss (alopecia), dark skin patches (acanthosis nigricans), and acne. Delcyst 500 is also used to treat ovarian hyperthecosis.

Pharmacology

Delcyst 500 is made from a process that extracts D-chiro-inositol from the Carob plant, which is mainly found in Southern Europe. A lack of D-chiro-inositol in the body can cause insulin resistance, leading to high levels of male hormones (hyperandrogenism) in the ovaries, which causes PCOS. Delcyst 500 helps to balance androgens (male hormones) and estrogens (female hormones) by lowering luteinizing hormone and testosterone levels. Delcyst 500 also improves glucose tolerance, reduces insulin levels, and helps decrease the stress on ovarian follicles. D-chiro-inositol reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and has been proven to treat ovarian cysts and PCOS-related metabolic problems. Delcyst 500 improves ovulation within two weeks of use and reduces skin issues related to high male hormone levels. Delcyst 500 also lowers the risk of heart problems in women with PCOS by helping to control blood pressure.
