 FDA revision Metformin HCl and XR Tablets Not Associated With Lactic Acidosis
Someone posted this on another board, but there was no link to go along with it (and I couldn't find anything else about it):
Metformin HCl (Glucophage) and Metformin HCl Extended Release (Glucophage XR) Tablets Not Associated With Lactic Acidosis
The FDA approved a revision on March 19 to the warnings section of labeling for metformin HCl (Glucophage), and metformin HCl extended release tablets (Glucophage XR), both of which are made by Bristol-Myers Squibb, to reflect that there were no reports of lactic acidosis during more than 20,000 patient-years of exposure to metformin in clinical trials.
