I have been taking Glucophage 750 for a month and I have a terrible worsening of acne, I have never had it that way, the changes are painful. Could this have caused this medicine Glucophage? in addition, he also takes contraception

Hey, I'm not a doctor and I think that the following statement is exhaustive, but I just wanted to mention that unfortunately in my case acne also appeared.
Typically papular pustular with painful swelling with contents. On a daily basis I have clear skin, I had acne twice - once during pregnancy (hormones) and drug-induced after a pill so this is definitely it

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say unequivocally what may be the cause of the worsening of acne after starting the Glucophage treatment. Such an adverse reaction of this medicine was not observed and is given in the package leaflet. However, it is not possible to completely exclude the association of the severity of acne with taking Glucophage, since not all side effects, especially those occurring very rarely, are described in the leaflet. It can also be an individual reaction to a particular drug. For this reason, it is so important to report such side effects - to the doctor, as well as individually, and how to do this we have described here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
