class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Metformin Bluefish is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin\u00a0Bluefish contains\u00a0metformin, a medicine used to treat\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0It belongs to a group of drugs called biguanides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulin\u00a0is a\u00a0hormone\u00a0produced in the pancreas that helps the body absorb\u00a0glucose\u00a0(sugar) from the blood.\u00a0The body uses\u00a0glucose\u00a0to produce energy or stores it for future needs.\u00a0If you have\u00a0diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough\u00a0insulin\u00a0or the body cannot use the\u00a0insulin\u00a0that is produced well enough.\u00a0This leads to high glucose levels in the blood.\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish helps lower blood glucose levels to a level that is as close to normal as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an adult and overweight, taking\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish for a long time can also help reduce the risk of complications associated with\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish is associated with either stable body weight or a slight weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish is used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin\u00a0Bluefish is used to treat patients with type 2\u00a0diabetes\u00a0(also known as &#8220;non-insulin-dependent diabetes&#8221;) when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood glucose levels, especially for obese patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adults can take\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish as the only treatment or together with other medicines to treat\u00a0diabetes\u00a0(medicines taken by mouth or\u00a0insulin\u00a0).\u00a0Children 10 years of age or older and adolescents can take\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish as the only treatment or with\u00a0insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin contained\u00a0in\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before taking Metformin Bluefish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Metformin Bluefish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to&nbsp;metformin&nbsp;or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>if you have liver problems<\/li><li>if you have severe renal impairment<\/li><li>if you have uncontrolled&nbsp;diabetes&nbsp;with, for example, severe&nbsp;hyperglycaemia&nbsp;(high blood sugar), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid weight loss,&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;(see &#8220;Risk of lactic acidosis&#8221; below) or&nbsp;ketoacidosis&nbsp;.&nbsp;Ketoacidosis&nbsp;is a condition in which substances called&nbsp;ketone bodies&nbsp;accumulate in the blood, which can lead to diabetic precoma.&nbsp;Symptoms include stomach pain, rapid and deep breathing, drowsiness or that your breath gets a different, fruity smell<\/li><li>if the body has lost too much water (dehydration), e.g.&nbsp;due to prolonged or severe diarrhea, or if you have vomited several times in a row.&nbsp;Dehydration can lead to kidney problems which can cause&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;(See &#8220;Take special care with&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish&#8221; below)<\/li><li>if you have a severe&nbsp;infection&nbsp;, e.g.&nbsp;an&nbsp;infection&nbsp;that affects the lungs, trachea or kidneys.&nbsp;Severe&nbsp;infection&nbsp;can lead to kidney problems which can cause&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;(See &#8220;Take special care with&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish&#8221; below).<\/li><li>if you are being treated for&nbsp;heart failure&nbsp;or have recently had a heart attack, if you have severe circulatory problems (such as&nbsp;shock&nbsp;) or difficulty breathing.&nbsp;This can lead to a lack of oxygen in&nbsp;tissue&nbsp;one, which can cause&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;(see &#8220;Take special care with&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish&#8221; below).<\/li><li>if you drink a lot of alcohol<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of these apply to you, do not take this medicine but talk to a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In particular, note the following risk of lactic acidosis: You must consult your doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>you need to have an examination, such as an X-ray or a&nbsp;computed tomography scan&nbsp;, which means that you are receiving contrast media containing iodine injected into your blood<\/li><li>you will undergo major surgery<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must stop taking\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish for a certain period before and after the examination or operation.\u00a0Your doctor will decide if you need any other treatment during this time.\u00a0You must follow your doctor&#8217;s instructions carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Risk of&nbsp;lactic acidosis<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin\u00a0Bluefish can cause the very rare, but very serious,\u00a0side effect\u00a0of lactic\u00a0acidosis, especially if your kidneys are not working properly.\u00a0The risk of developing\u00a0lactic acidosis\u00a0is also increased in uncontrolled\u00a0diabetes, severe\u00a0infections, prolonged fasting or alcohol intake, dehydration (see more information below), liver problems and conditions where part of the body has reduced oxygen supply (including\u00a0acute\u00a0severe heart disease).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor for further advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop taking\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish for a short time if you have a condition that may be associated with dehydration,<\/strong>\u00a0such as severe vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, exposure to heat or if you drink less fluid than normal.\u00a0Talk to a doctor for further instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop taking Metformin Bluefish and contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you experience any of the symptoms of\u00a0lactic acidosis\u00a0<\/strong>as the condition may lead to\u00a0coma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>vomiting<\/li><li>abdominal pain (stomach pain)<\/li><li>muscle cramps<\/li><li>a general feeling of not feeling well and pronounced fatigue<\/li><li>hard to breathe<\/li><li>lowered body temperature and&nbsp;heart rate&nbsp;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lactic acidosis&nbsp;is an&nbsp;acute&nbsp;medical condition that must be treated in a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to have a major operation, you must stop taking&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish during the operation and for a certain time after it.&nbsp;Your doctor will decide when you need to stop taking&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish and when you should start taking it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin\u00a0Bluefish itself does not cause\u00a0hypoglycaemia\u00a0(too low blood sugar) but if you take\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish together with other antidiabetic medicines\u00a0that\u00a0can cause\u00a0hypoglycaemia\u00a0(eg sulfonylureas,\u00a0insulin, meglitinides) there is a risk of\u00a0hypoglycaemia.\u00a0If you experience symptoms of\u00a0hypoglycaemia, such as weakness, dizziness, sweating, rapid\u00a0heartbeat, visual disturbances or difficulty concentrating, eating or drinking something containing sugar usually helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish, your doctor will check your kidney function at least once a year or more often if you are older and\/or if your kidney function is impaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Metformin Bluefish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to get an\u00a0injection\u00a0into the bloodstream with contrast media that contain iodine, for example in connection with X-rays or\u00a0computed tomography, you must stop taking\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish before or at the time of\u00a0injection.\u00a0Your doctor will decide when you need to stop taking\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish and when you should start taking it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.\u00a0You may need to do more blood sugar and kidney function tests, or your doctor may need to adjust the\u00a0dose\u00a0of one of\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish.\u00a0You must mention the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>drugs that increase urine production (&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;)<\/li><li>drugs used to treat pain and&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;(&nbsp;NSAIDs&nbsp;and COX 2 inhibitors, such as&nbsp;ibuprofen&nbsp;and celecoxib)<\/li><li>certain medicines for high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(&nbsp;ACE inhibitors&nbsp;and&nbsp;angiotensin&nbsp;II receptor antagonists)<\/li><li>beta-2&nbsp;agonists&nbsp;such as&nbsp;salbutamol&nbsp;or&nbsp;terbutaline&nbsp;(used for&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;)<\/li><li>corticosteroids&nbsp;(used to treat a variety of conditions, such as severe dermatitis or&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;)<\/li><li>other drugs used to treat&nbsp;diabetes&nbsp;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metformin Bluefish with alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid high alcohol intake while taking&nbsp;Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish as alcohol may increase the risk of&nbsp;lactic acidosis&nbsp;(see section &#8220;Warnings and precautions&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During pregnancy, you need\u00a0insulin\u00a0to treat your\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.\u00a0He or she may change your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine is not recommended if you are breastfeeding or if you are planning to breastfeed your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish alone does not cause&nbsp;hypoglycaemia&nbsp;(&nbsp;too low a blood glucose level).&nbsp;This means that it does not affect your ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should be especially careful if you take\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish with other medicines for\u00a0diabetes\u00a0that can cause\u00a0hypoglycaemia\u00a0(eg sulphonylureas,\u00a0insulin, meglitinides).\u00a0Symptoms of\u00a0hypoglycaemia\u00a0include weakness, dizziness, sweating, rapid heartbeat, visual disturbances or difficulty concentrating.\u00a0Do not drive or use machines if you experience such symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take Metformin Bluefish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metformin&nbsp;Bluefish can not replace the beneficial effects of a healthy lifestyle.&nbsp;Continue to follow any dietary advice your doctor has given you and exercise regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children 10 years of age or older and adolescents usually start with 500 mg or 850 mg\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish once a day.\u00a0The maximum daily dose is 2,000 mg divided into two or three\u00a0doses.\u00a0Treatment of children aged 10-12 years is only recommended according to your doctor&#8217;s instructions, as experience in this age group is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adults usually start with 500 mg or 850 mg\u00a0Metformin\u00a0Bluefish two or three times a day.\u00a0The maximum daily dose is 3,000 mg divided into three\u00a0doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have impaired kidney function, your doctor may prescribe a lower\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are also taking\u00a0insulin, your doctor will tell you how to
