Brief Answer:
GERD likely reason
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
Metformin ( Glucophage) rarely give the metallic taste in mouth. However, in your case, the metallic taste is likely to be GERD related rather than Glucophage.
Glucophage is a wonderful drug and should be used in all patients with Type 2 DM.
The metallic taste may go away once you have treated GERD well.
