however due to species-specific differences in lactation physiology, animal data may not reliably predict drug levels in human milk. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for pioglitazone hydrochloride and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from pioglitazone hydrochloride or from the underlying maternal condition. discuss the potential for unintended pregnancy with premenopausal women as therapy with pioglitazone hydrochloride, like other thiazolidinediones, may result in ovulation in some anovulatory women. safety and effectiveness of pioglitazone hydrochloride in pediatric patients have not been established. pioglitazone hydrochloride is not recommended for use in pediatric patients based on adverse effects observed in adults, including fluid retention and congestive heart failure, fractures, and urinary bladder tumors [see warnings and precautions ( 5.1, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6)]. a total of 92 patients (15.2%) treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride in the three pooled 16- to 26-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, monotherapy trials were ≥65 years old and two patients (0.3%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16- to 24-week add-on to sulfonylurea trials, 201 patients (18.7 %) treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride were ≥65 years old and 19 (1.8%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16- to 24-week add-on to metformin trials, 155 patients (15.5%) treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride were ≥65 years old and 19 (1.9%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16- to 24-week add-on to insulin trials, 272 patients (25.4%) treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride were ≥65 years old and 22 (2.1%) were ≥75 years old. in proactive, 1068 patients (41.0%) treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride were ≥65 years old and 42 (1.6%) were ≥75 years old. in pharmacokinetic studies with pioglitazone, no significant differences were observed in pharmacokinetic parameters between elderly and younger patients [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . although clinical experiences have not identified differences in effectiveness and safety between the elderly (≥ 65 years) and younger patients, these conclusions are limited by small sample sizes for patients ≥75 years old.

however, due to species-specific differences in lactation physiology, animal data may not reliably predict drug levels in human milk. limited published studies report that metformin is present in human milk (see data) . however, there is insufficient information on the effects of metformin on the breastfed infant and no available information on the effects of metformin on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for actoplus met and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from actoplus met or from the underlying maternal condition. data published clinical lactation studies report that metformin is present in human milk which resulted in infant doses approximately 0.11% to 1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage and a milk/plasma ratio ranging between 0.13 and 1. however, the studies were not designed to definitely establish the risk of use of metformin during lactation because of small sample size and limited adverse event data collected in infants. discuss the potential for unintended pregnancy with premenopausal women as therapy with actoplus met, may result in ovulation in some anovulatory women. safety and effectiveness of actoplus met in pediatric patients have not been established. actoplus met is not recommended for use in pediatric patients based on adverse effects observed in adults, including fluid retention and congestive heart failure, fractures, and urinary bladder tumors [see warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.3, 5.6, 5.7)]. pioglitazone a total of 92 patients (15.2%) treated with pioglitazone in the three pooled 16 to 26 week double-blind, placebo-controlled, monotherapy trials were ≥65 years old and two patients (0.3%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16 to 24 week add-on to sulfonylurea trials, 201 patients (18.7%) treated with pioglitazone were ≥65 years old and 19 (1.8%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16 to 24 week add-on to metformin trials, 155 patients (15.5%) treated with pioglitazone were ≥65 years old and 19 (1.9%) were ≥75 years old. in the two pooled 16 to 24 week add-on to insulin trials, 272 patients (25.4%) treated with pioglitazone were ≥65 years old and 22 (2.1%) were ≥75 years old. in proactive trial, 1068 patients (41.0%) treated with pioglitazone were ≥65 years old and 42 (1.6%) were ≥75 years old. in pharmacokinetic studies with pioglitazone, no significant differences were observed in pharmacokinetic parameters between elderly and younger patients [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . although clinical experiences have not identified differences in effectiveness and safety between the elderly (≥65 years) and younger patients, these conclusions are limited by small sample sizes for patients ≥75 years old. metformin hydrochloride controlled clinical studies of metformin did not include sufficient numbers of elderly patients to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients, although other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and young patients. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy and the higher risk of lactic acidosis. assess renal function more frequently in elderly patients [see warnings and precautions (5.2), dosage and administration (2.2)]. metformin is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of metformin accumulation and lactic acidosis increases with the degree of renal impairment. actoplus met is contraindicated in severe renal impairment, patients with an egfr below 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 [see dosage and administration (2.2), contraindications (4), warnings and precautions (5.2), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. use of metformin in patients with hepatic impairment has been associated with some cases of lactic acidosis. actoplus met is not recommended in patients with hepatic impairment [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] .
