Metformin overdose in the ICU – signs and dapagliflozin effects
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who are in the ICU after taking too much metformin (a diabetes drug), sometimes along with another drug called dapagliflozin (Farxiga). The goal is to understand how overdose affects the body and what signs doctors should watch for.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if the drug dapagliflozin (a medicine that helps protect the heart and kidneys) can improve recovery in patients who needed a breathing machine or blood pressure support in the ICU. If you qualify, you would take the drug after leaving the ICU to see if it lowers the risk of heart or kidney problems.
This study looks at patients in intensive care who had lactic acidosis, to see if taking metformin before admission played a role. It may help understand how metformin affects recovery.
This trial tests whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin (also used for heart failure) can help people recover better after a recent heart attack. It's for adults who are already on standard blood thinners and have had a heart attack in the past week.
This trial tests if dapagliflozin, a medication usually used for diabetes, can help people with acute heart failure recover heart function. If you are in the hospital for heart failure, this study will check if the drug improves how your heart squeezes.
This study looks at how stopping a common diabetes drug (SGLT2 inhibitor) affects the body's risk of a serious condition called ketoacidosis. It may help understand who is most at risk and how to prevent it.
This trial tests whether giving gliflozin (a type of diabetes pill also used for heart failure) early in the emergency department helps older patients who are admitted for worsening heart failure. It aims to see if it can improve recovery and reduce the need for intensive treatment.
