Inositol in women suffering from acne and PCOS: a randomized study

Abstract

Objective: The aim of our pilot study was to determine the effects of inositol in the treatment of PCOS patients with acne Conclusion: In conclusion, these observations suggest that inositol may be useful as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of female patients with moderate acne, especially in the case of women who are unable to receive combined estrogen-progestin therapy due to various reasons (e.g., increased risk of thrombosis, and side effects associated with the use of estrogen-progestin).
