Metformin is a medicine often used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is an antidiabetic drug that helps control blood glucose levels by increasing tissue sensitivity to insulin and inhibiting the production of glucose by the liver. Metformin is generally considered a relatively safe drug, but as with most medications, there may be a range of side effects. Epileptic seizures (epilepsy) as a side effect of metformin are not considered a common symptom. The main purpose of metformin is to affect glucose metabolism and insulin. In rare cases, people using metformin may report neurological problems, including dizziness, balance disorders or headaches, but these are not typical symptoms of epilepsy. If you have experienced this - please consult your doctor.
