Elderly people, 80 y.o. and over, especially if their kidney work hasn't been checked People with the impaired kidney function People with the severe course of the congestive heart failure People, allergic to any active or inactive component in the medication composition People, suffering from ...
Immunosenescence occurs as people age, leading to an increased incidence of age-related diseases. The number of senescent T cells also rises with age. T cell senescence and immune response dysfunction can result in a decline in immune function, especiall
Short-Term Effects There are no short-term effects from the use of metformin. Long-Term Effects There are no long-term effects from the use of metformin. Cautions Use with caution in patients with congestive heart failure, fever, trauma, surgery, the elderly, renal impairment, or hepatic impa...
The elderly are also at higher risk, especially those older than 80 years who have not had kidney tests. (See also Side Effects and Precautions sections.) USES: Metformin is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar. It is ...
women, and pediatric or geriatric patients, metformin usage may not be commonly safe. The primary potential of lactic acidosis production made it unsafe in some circumstances [40]. It is important to understand the benefit-risk balance of metformin treatment when it comes to elderly patients who ...
The risk of metformin-associated lactic acidosis increases with the patient’s age because elderly patients have a greater likelihood of having hepatic, renal, or cardiac impairment than younger patients. Assess renal function more frequently in elderly patients [seeUse In Specific Populations]...
In patients at risk for the development of renal impairment (e.g., the elderly), renal function should be assessed more frequently. In patients taking metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets whose eGFR falls below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, assess the benefit and risk of continuing therapy. ...
In patients at increased risk for the development of renal impairment (e.g., the elderly), renal function should be assessed more frequently. Drug Interactions: The concomitant use of Dapagliflozin and Metformin HCl extended-release tablets with specific drugs may increase the risk of metformin-...

Initiation of FORTAMET is not recommended in patients with eGFR between 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m². Obtain an eGFR at least annually in all patients taking FORTAMET. In patients at risk for the development of renal impairment (e.g., the elderly), renal function should be assessed more fre...
