FYI

Here's some interesting information that I found on medicinedb.com:

Call your health care provider right away if you develop nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, a feeling of tiredness or having no energy, loss of appetite, dark urine, or jaundice (yellow coloring of eyes and skin). These may be the symptoms of liver problems.

Default hepatic conditions

what you listed was the basic information for reaction or overdose or buildup of a glucophage. MAny newer antidiabtic drugs work by preventing the liver from excreting glycogen. BY preventing this from happening many times the liver becomes compromised and damage can occur. That is why glycogen inhibitors call for those taking them to get SPGT SPGOT levels every three months.

Of course these indicators are also signs you may have had hepatitis or some sort of liver damage and this should preclude the patient from taking metformins and other antidiabetics that work on the liver.
