Dear Amanda,
Did you get any response to this email?
I too suffer from PCOS and I am currently living and working in
Sinagpore. As my doctor in Australia did not offer Metformin as a
treatment option for me, I would like to know if it is possible to order
it somewhere. The only reason I found out about Metformin was from my
own personal research. My doctor did not even tell me it existed!!
Anyway, let me know.
Thanks
Kirsten
