A member asked:
Please answer! what makes glucophage (metformin) cause a burning sensation inside my head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One of two things ?: Burning in the head is uncommon with metformin. One possibility is acidosis and the other is hypogycemia. Check your blood sugar if it occurs again. You need to tell the doctor who prescribed the metformin that you are having this problem.
