  • Title: Initiating oral anti diabetic drug: alternatives to metformin.
    Author: Kalra S, Gupta Y.
    Journal: J Pak Med Assoc; 2015 Apr; 65(4):440-1. PubMed ID: 25976586.
    Abstract:
    While most published articles on oral anti diabetic therapy approve of metformin, few discuss what should be done if metformin is contraindicated or not tolerated. This article defines metformin intolerance, and discusses various pharmacological options available for persons with type 2 diabetes who cannot take metformin and do not accept/require insulin.
