I have been taking Metformin SR for 11 years it I have just started to have a metallic taste this has only happened since I started a new batch made by a pharmaceutical company that I haven't had before has anyone else had this ?

Thanks I will ring the pharmacy because I have a repeat prescription on order if they are sending the same brand I will ring the GPCarty, whilst the active ingredient of your current batch of Metformin may be identical to you've had before, the fillers, stabilising agents and so on can be different.
Not Metformin, but there is one brand of thyroid meds that makes me feel eternal queasy. When I explained to my GP, she happily annotated my notes, and now my repeat script is marked, "Not Teva brand."
My amazing pharmacist has agreed to provide me with a different Metformin and he will have it tomorrow because the one he has in stock is the one I have at the moment

Hmm - I must be really unlucky with my doctors - I take Thyroxine and when the brand was changed I instantly felt unwell. I told the GP who told me that I was imagining it. The following prescription was filled with yet another brand, and I was instantly better. Mind you - having at one time read my notes with all the sarcastic comments from various doctors over the years, it is probably only to be expected.
That's interesting how would we know if there were changes ? Does the appearance of the tongue change ?@carty You might also like to consider if there's been a change in your tongue, to ascribe to this change.
Might sound odd, but classically our tongues shed and grow the surface, occasionally all at once, more often it is staged. This desquamation as it's called, exposes our taste buds to a greater or lesser extent, hence changing our sense of taste.
