A member asked:
I was given glyciphage 850mg for pcos and overweight. i had breakout after having it. is for this medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is unlikely the glucophage (metformin) caused the breakout. This was most likely caused by the pcos because in that disease, you have increased hormone production (male and female) that can lead to acne. Continue with the glucophage.
