The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex syndrome, with hormonal and metabolic features. The role of an altered insulin action is important for the onset and clinical manifestations of PCOS. The use of insulin-sensitizing agents as metformin or inositols is one of the key elements in PCOS management. In this opinion paper, the authors discuss about the actions of inositols (MYO and DCI) in PCOS clinical management.
