Drivers
Carefully.
When using the preparation at a dose of 85 g, the development of hypoglycemia was not observed. However, in this case, the development of lactic acidosis was observed. A significant excess of the dose of metformin or associated risk factors can lead to the development of lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency. If lactic acidosis develops, preparation treatment should be discontinued and the patient should be urgently hospitalized. The most effective measure for removing lactate and metformin from the body is hemodialysis.
From the nervous system. Often: taste disturbance.
From the digestive tract. Very common: disorders of the digestive system, such as: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lack of appetite. Most often, these side effects occur at the beginning of treatment and in most cases disappear spontaneously. To prevent the occurrence of side effects from the gastrointestinal tract, a slow increase in the dose of the preparation is recommended.
Alcohol. Acute alcohol intoxication is associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis, especially in cases of fasting or a low-calorie diet, as well as in liver failure. When treating with Glucophage XR, you should avoid taking ethanol and medicines containing ethanol.
Combinations to be used with caution. Medicines that have a hyperglycemic effect (GCS of systemic and local action, sympathomimetics).
