----------
METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE
WARNINGS
LACTIC ACIDOSIS:
LACTIC ACIDOSIS IS A RARE, BUT SERIOUS, METABOLIC COMPLICATION THAT
CAN OCCUR DUE TO
METFORMIN ACCUMULATION DURING TREATMENT WITH METFORMIN; WHEN IT
OCCURS, IT IS FATAL IN
APPROXIMATELY 50% OF CASES. LACTIC ACIDOSIS MAY ALSO OCCUR IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A NUMBER
OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC CONDITIONS, INCLUDING DIABETES MELLITUS, AND
WHENEVER THERE IS
SIGNIFICANT TISSUE HYPOPERFUSION AND HYPOXEMIA. LACTIC ACIDOSIS IS
CHARACTERIZED BY ELEVATED
BLOOD LACTATE LEVELS (>5 MMOL/L), DECREASED BLOOD PH, ELECTROLYTE
DISTURBANCES WITH AN
INCREASED ANION GAP, AND AN INCREASED LACTATE/PYRUVATE RATIO. WHEN
METFORMIN IS IMPLICATED
AS THE CAUSE OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS, METFORMIN PLASMA LEVELS > 5 ΜG/ML
ARE GENERALLY FOUND.
THE REPORTED INCIDENCE OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS IN PATIENTS RECEIVING
METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE
TABLETS, USP IS VERY LOW (APPROXIMATELY 0.03 CASES/1000 PATIENT-YEARS,
WITH APPROXIMATELY
0.015 FATAL CASES/1000 PATIENT-YEARS). IN MORE THAN 20,000
PATIENT-YEARS EXPOSURE TO
METFORMIN IN CLINICAL TRIALS, THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF LACTIC
ACIDOSIS. REPORTED CASES HAVE
OCCURRED PRIMARILY IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT RENAL
INSUFFICIENCY, INCLUDING BOTH
INTRINSIC RENAL DISEASE AND RENAL HYPOPERFUSION, OFTEN IN THE SETTING
OF MULTIPLE CONCOMITANT
MEDICAL/SURGICAL PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS.
PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE
HEART FAILURE REQUIRING PHARMACOLOGIC MANAGEMENT, IN PARTICULAR THOSE
WITH UNSTABLE OR
ACUTE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE WHO ARE AT RISK OF HYPOPERFUSION AND
HYPOXEMIA ARE AT
INCREASED RISK OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS. THE RISK OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS
INCREASES WITH THE DEGREE OF
RENAL DYSFUNCTION AND THE PATIENT'S AGE. THE RISK OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS
MAY, THEREFORE, BE
SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED BY REGULAR MONITORING OF RENAL FUNCTION IN
PATIENTS TAKING METFORMIN
AND BY USE OF THE MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE OF METFORMIN. IN PARTICULAR,
TREATMENT OF THE
ELDERLY SHOULD BE ACCOMPAN
