Kia ora team, a reminder that Empagliflozin (Jardiance) and Vildagliptin (Galvus) used for diabetes management come in a combined dose with Metformin called Jardimet and Galvumet. If your patient is taking one of the combination options, it is a very rare instance that they would need additional metformin as well. Remember that a dose above 2 gms per day of Metformin increases the rate of side effects with little improvement in HbA1c.
There have been a number of prescribing errors picked up over the last few months. Many thanks Suzanne Comments are closed.
