A member asked:
Could the daily use of metformin cause a dry cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likelly: A cough is not a reported side effect of metformin. Patients with diabetes are often taking blood pressure medications in the group called ace inhibitors; these often cause a dry cough, so if you are taking one of these medications it is likely that it may be causing your cough rather than the metformin.
