Metformin

Metformin can rarely cause a serious, life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease. Your doctor will likely tell you not to take metformin. Also tell your doctor if you are over 65 and have ever had a heart attack; stroke; diabetic ketoacidosis (blood sugar high enough to cause severe symptoms and requiring emergency medical treatment); coma; or heart or liver disease. Taking certain other medicines containing metformin may increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor if you are taking acetazolamide (Diamox), dichlorphenamide (Keveyis), methazolamide, topiramate (Topamax, in Qsymia) or zonisamide (Zonegran)
