How does Metformin + Repaglinide increase lactic acidosis?

Dr. Manoj Meena MBBS , General Physician

Lactic acidosis associated with Metformin + Repaglinide treatment is a rare but fatal adverse effect. Lactic acidosis appears to result from biguanide interference causing an increase in production and decrease in clearance of lactate leading to higher cellular lactate levels. A decrease in pyruvate carboxylase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of glucose from lactate, can also decrease hepatic metabolism of lactate. leading to increasing lactic acidosis. Signs and symptoms of Metformin + Repaglinide induced lactic acidosis are nonspecific and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, altered level of consciousness, hyperpnoea, abdominal pain, and thirst.

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Yes, you can take Metformin + Repaglinide with a beta-blocker. People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or stroke at an earlier age than the general population. One reason for this is that high glucose levels increase your risk of high blood pressure (hypertension). No harmful interactions are seen between them. However, a recent study suggests that beta-blockers can decrease the plasma level of Metformin + Repaglinide and long-term use can increase lactic acid and uric acid in the blood.
