Postmarketing cases of metformin-associated lactic acidosis have
resulted in death, hypothermia, hypotension,
and resistant bradyarrhythmias. Symptoms included malaise, myalgias,
respiratory distress, somnolence, and
abdominal pain. Laboratory abnormalities included elevated blood
lactate levels, anion gap acidosis, increased
lactate/pyruvate ratio; and metformin plasma levels generally >5
mcg/mL. (5.1)
Risk factors include renal impairment, concomitant use of certain
drugs, age >65 years old, radiological studies
with contrast, surgery and other procedures, hypoxic states, excessive
alcohol intake, and hepatic impairment.
Steps to reduce the risk of and manage metformin-associated lactic
acidosis in these high risk groups are
provided in the Full Prescribing Information. (5.1)
If lactic acidosis is suspected, discontinue GLUCOPHAGE/ GLUCOPHAGE XR
and institute general supportive
measures in a hospital setting. Prompt hemodialysis is recommended.
