Metformin

Does it cause itching?

It's one of the possible side effects but I haven't experienced it myself. Are you experiencing this at the moment? How long have you been taking Metformin?

It seemed to be the culprit - all over but around the shoulders and hips and across my belly were the worst spots - and worse at night.

I have suffered from itching and "prickly heat". I come out on a rash when I am warm or excercise. Would this be a side effect or something else?

I and now using 3 different creams since October.2017 never had a skin issue until now
I started to itch the skin dehydrated.
you should get a health check through your doctor.

When I stopped the tablets the itching soon subsided - and my skin is now so soft and supple - it still looks like the skin of a 67 year old but it feels much younger.
It is mentioned in the leaflet which comes with the Metformin, and seems to indicate that you should stop taking it.
