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
