-- Hi Cynthia, thanks for your reply, if your dr would not give you metformin would you buy it off the internet and start taking it, I am tempted as everything I have read about it makes it sound amazing and that I should be on it but I just feel that if something went wrong and I had to go to my dr and tell him I am on a drug that I bought from the internet I would feel stupid, what do you think???? also can you tell me if it is safe for me to take Met with my oral contraceptive which is Ovranette??

thank for listening,

Amanda.
