Let’s start by dispelling a common myth: metformin, which is the most commonly used diabetes medication, does not cause kidney damage. However, in patients with diabetes who develop kidney damage, we may need to decrease the dose of metformin, or stop it altogether, to prevent side effects occurring at that point of time.
