Our RN found this paper from "The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of
Ophthalmologists"
Fluorescein and Indocyanine Green Angiography Guidelines.
#17 Indocyanine Green Angiography
...... ICG Andiography may theoretically precipitate lactic acidosis in
patients taking the medication
Metformin, and caution is advised in performing !CG angiography on patients
taking this medication

Subject: [optimal] ICG and Metformin
Error! Filename not specified.
I just finished an ICG angiogram for a pt who takes Metformin and,
appropriately, took his last dose Sunday evening so we could proceed with the
ICG.
A "new" RN to Ophthalmology wanted to see literature on this subject, so she
researched the Stanford RX library, the literature that accompanies the dye and
found no contraindication with ICG and Metformin. We phoned our hospital
pharmacy who reported that it is no longer necessary to stop Metformin with
IVICG.
Comments?
