Feature Glucophage

Hypoglycemic agent of the biguanide group for oral administration. Pharmacological action Pharmacological action - hypoglycemic.

Pharmacokinetics Glucophage

After oral administration, metformin adequately absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The absolute bioavailability of 50-60%. Cmax (approximately 2 mg / L or 15 umol) in plasma is reached in 2.5 h. In the simultaneous ingestion of metformin absorption is reduced and delayed. Metformin rapidly distributed into tissues, almost bound to plasma proteins. Undergoes metabolism to a very slight extent and excreted by the kidneys. Clearance in healthy subjects is 440 ml / min (4 times greater than creatinine clearance), which indicates the presence of active tubular secretion. T1 / 2 of approximately 6.5 h. In renal insufficiency, T1 / 2 increases, there is a risk of cumulation of the drug. Pharmacodynamics Glucophage ® reduces hyperglycemia without causing hypoglycemia. Unlike sulfonylureas, does not stimulate insulin secretion and has no hypoglycemic effect in healthy individuals. Increases the sensitivity of peripheral receptors to insulin and glucose utilization by cells. Inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis. Delays absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines. In addition, has a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism: reduces total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides.

Application of pregnancy and breastfeeding When planning a pregnancy, as well as in the case of pregnancy in patients receiving metformin, the drug should be withdrawn and assigned to insulin therapy.

Side effects of Glucophage are presented in decreasing order of importance.

Nervous System: Frequent - breach of taste. Gastrointestinal organs: very common - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite. Most often they occur in the initial period of treatment and in most cases spontaneously resolve. To prevent the symptoms are advised to take metformin 2 or 3 times a day during or after meals. The slow increase in dose may improve gastrointestinal tolerability. There are few reports of violation of liver function tests or hepatitis after discontinuation of metformin adverse effects completely disappear. Skin: very rarely - Skin reactions such as erythema, pruritus, rash. Metabolic disorders: very rare - lactic acidosis (see "Special Instructions"). Patients receiving long-term treatment with metformin, there was a decrease absorption of vitamin B12 is accompanied by reduction of its concentration in blood serum. These effects are rapidly reversed, with the abolition of metformin and usually not clinically significant (<0.01%). Reduced levels of vitamin B12 should be taken into account in patients with megaloblastic anemia. Hepatobiliary disorders: there are few reports of violation of liver function tests or hepatitis after discontinuation of metformin adverse effects completely disappear. Published data, postmarketing data, and controlled clinical studies in limited populations of children in the age group 10-16 years show that the side effects of the nature and severity are similar to those in adult patients.

In the treatment of GCS and after discontinuation of the last required dose correction Glucophagea ® under the control of blood glucose levels. At the same time taking loop diuretics can lead to the development of lactic acidosis due to possible functional renal insufficiency.

After 10-15 days, the dose should be adjusted based on the results of measurement of blood glucose. The maximum daily dose is 2000 mg, divided into 2-3 doses. Elderly patients Due to a possible reduction in kidney function dose of metformin should be selected by regular monitoring of indicators of kidney function (serum creatinine level of at least 2-4 times per year). Cautions If during treatment the patient appeared vomiting, abdominal pain, muscle aches, general weakness and severe malaise, you must stop taking the drug immediately and consult a doctor. These symptoms may be a sign of incipient lactic acidosis. For 48 h before and within 48 hours after the X-ray study (urography, intravenous angiography) should stop taking Glucophagea ®. Because metformin excreted by the kidneys, before starting treatment and regularly thereafter, to determine the level of creatinine in serum. Particular caution should be exercised in cases where renal function may be impaired, such as in the initial period of antihypertensive therapy or diuretic therapy, and initial treatment NSAIDs. The patient should inform the doctor about the appearance of bronchopulmonary infection or infectious diseases of the urogenital organs. During the treatment should refrain from drinking alcohol.
