Burning sensation of the feet could be a sign of Nuropathy. Some medications do cause it. However it will resolve once the said medication is stopped. If it persists, especially if you have Diabetes Mellitus, please get a Nerve Conduction Study, which will diagnose the Nuropathy and then the Doctor can prescribe appropriate medications.
