Diabetes Australia has been actively monitoring the shortage in the supply of metformin extended/modified release medication on behalf of people with diabetes since April this year.
Article about the availability of Metformin here at Diabetes Queensland.
I have been prescribed the Metformin XR 500, I picked up all of my scripts yesterday from the pharmacy and the Metformin had a red tag on it. The ones I get are APO-METFORMIN XR 500, so I ended up with the full quick acting (?) version, so I hope I do not get the scours with them.
