Abstract
The population model enabled doses of metformin to be simulated for each stage of renal function, to ensure the concentrations of metformin do not exceed 5 mg/l. However, the plasma concentrations of metformin at these dosage levels are still quite variable and monitoring metformin concentrations may be of value in individualising dosage. This study provides confirmatory data that metformin can be used, with appropriate dosage adjustment, in patients with renal impairment.
