Metformin associated lactic acidosis.

P J Phillips, R Scicchitano, A R Clarkson

    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine
    |June 1, 1978

    Summary

    Metformin can cause lactic acidosis, especially with excessive use or in patients with kidney, heart, or liver issues. This risk, though lower than with phenformin, necessitates careful patient selection for metformin therapy.
