Important Warnings

Risk of hypoglycaemia (higher with missed meals, excess exercise, alcohol, or other antidiabetics); monitor glucose. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—risk increases with kidney disease, dehydration, severe infection, heart/respiratory failure, or alcohol; avoid in severe renal impairment and stop temporarily during acute illness/dehydration. Hydrochlorothiazide may cause low potassium/sodium and increase uric acid (gout) and photosensitivity; monitor electrolytes and kidney function. Use caution in liver disease and in elderly; report severe weakness, muscle cramps, breathing difficulty, or persistent vomiting/diarrhea. Before iodinated contrast scans or major surgery, metformin may need to be withheld per doctor advice.
