Diabetes drug safety tested in kidney patients

NCT ID NCT02710448

Summary

This study investigated whether the common diabetes medication metformin is safe to use in people who also have kidney problems. Researchers gave increasing doses of metformin to 82 diabetic patients with varying levels of kidney function and measured how much of the drug accumulated in their blood cells. The goal was to determine if metformin stays at safe levels in people with reduced kidney function, which could help doctors prescribe it more confidently.
