Short answer: yes — some of these drugs can cause feelings of cold or chills, but for most the symptom is uncommon or would be indirect (for example from hypoglycemia or poor peripheral circulation). Below is a quick rundown and what to watch for.

Please clarify what you mean by "Liquid" (a drug name or a liquid formulation?), and tell me when the chills started and whether any new medication or dose change happened.

Brief medication-by-medication notes
- Metformin — chills are not a common side effect. Rarely, life‑threatening lactic acidosis can occur; symptoms include severe weakness, fast/shallow breathing, abdominal pain, dizziness and sometimes feeling cold or unusually tired. If you have those symptoms, seek immediate care.
- Glipizide — yes, indirectly. Glipizide can cause hypoglycemia, and low blood sugar commonly causes sweating, shaking, anxiety and sometimes feeling cold or chilled. If you feel chilled and you are on a sulfonylurea, check your blood glucose and treat hypoglycemia if it’s low.
- Metoprolol — can reduce peripheral circulation and commonly causes cold hands or feet; people may describe this as feeling cold or chilly. So it’s possible.
- Norvasc (amlodipine) — chills are not typical. Amlodipine more commonly causes flushing, swelling, or dizziness. Chills would be uncommon.
- Hydrochlorothiazide — chills are not a typical direct side effect. Dehydration or electrolyte disturbances from diuretics could indirectly cause weakness or abnormal sensations, but true chills are uncommon.
- Lovastatin — chills are uncommon. Statins can cause muscle aches and, rarely, serious muscle breakdown or liver problems. If chills are with fever, dark urine, severe muscle pain or jaundice, seek care.
- Vitamin D3 — chills are not a typical side effect. Vitamin D toxicity causes hypercalcemia (nausea, weakness, constipation, polyuria), not chills.
- Magnesium sulfate — depends on route. IV magnesium can cause flushing, warmth, sweating, hypotension; chills are not typical but infusion reactions vary. Oral magnesium usually causes GI upset, not chills.

What to do now
- If you’re on glipizide, check your blood sugar right away and treat per your usual hypoglycemia plan if it’s low.
- If chills are accompanied by fever, rigors, difficulty breathing, rash, swelling, fainting, severe weakness, chest pain, very fast or slow heart rate, or confusion — seek urgent/ER care.
- If chills are mild and persistent, contact the prescriber or pharmacist to review timing, doses and possible interactions.
- If you can, tell me when the chills began relative to starting/changing any medicine, whether you have fever or other symptoms, and clarify “Liquid.” I can give more targeted advice.
