Full Prescribing Info

Overdosage

Hypoglycaemia has not been seen even with ingestion of up to 85 g of immediate-release metformin, although lactic acidosis has occurred in such circumstances. Metformin is dialysable with a clearance of up to 170 mL/min under good haemodynamic conditions. Therefore, haemodialysis may be useful for removal of accumulated drug from patients in whom metformin overdosage is suspected.
