Overview
This study looks at patients admitted to intensive care for drug poisoning involving metformin, a common diabetes medication. Researchers will compare two groups: patients who overdosed on metformin alone and those who took both metformin and dapagliflozin, another diabetes drug. The goal is to find clinical or laboratory signs that could help doctors quickly recognize a dapagliflozin overdose in this context, which could improve treatment and patient outcomes.
