Important Warnings

Avoid in severe renal impairment; dose adjustment/monitoring needed in reduced kidney function. Stop temporarily before/after iodinated contrast imaging and during major surgery or acute illness as advised. Use caution in elderly, malnourished, and in G6PD deficiency (risk of haemolysis with sulfonylureas).
