Guidance notes
Not covered by SA-CATS 67 Table A1, so it must be verified with your DAME/SACAA — Table A1 requires all drugs not published in SA-CATS 67 to be verified before prescribing. Metformin alone carries no hypoglycaemia risk, but the diabetes itself must be certified with documented control.
