11. Glycomet Tablets (Generic Metformin Hydrochloride Tablets) Warnings The possibility of lactic acidosis increases with the degree of renal dysfunction, impairment of creatinine clearance and the patient's age. Due to the fact that impaired hepatic function can significantly limit the ability to clear lactate, metformin should generally be avoided in patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of hepatic disease. Patients must be warned against excessive alcohol intake either acute or chronic when taking Metformin, since alcohol consumption potentiates the effect of metformin on lactate metabolism. Administration of Glycomet Tablets should be temporarily discontinued 2 days prior to any intravascular radiocontrast study and not restarted until renal function has normalised.
