I was told by my doctor that recent studies on metformin aka glucophage has shown that it does cause kidney damage as well as diabetes, itself. This was news to me and is the reason I have been taken off metformin. I have also told that celebrex also causes damage to the kidneys and I was taken off it, also.
I am doing some more research and will get back with links to what I find.
I dont know but I know some patients who had kidney failures after taking metformin for a long time, I think u should ask your doctor about it, Ive also read about the benefits of alpha-lipoic acid better ask your doctor also if its a good replacement for metformin
