Consumer:Using NIFEdipine together with metFORMIN may increase the effects of metFORMIN, which may lead to a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis This can cause weakness, increasing sleepiness, slow heart rate, muscle pain, shortness of breath, stomach pain, feeling light-headed, and fainting.

Professional:MONITOR: Nifedipine may increase plasma concentrations of metformin by increasing the extent of absorption. Increased metformin levels may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
MANAGEMENT: If nifedipine and metformin must be used together, cautious titration of metformin dosage is recommended. Increased metformin levels may increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Patients should be advised to monitor their blood glucose and to promptly notify their physician if they experience possible signs of lactic acidosis such as malaise, myalgia, respiratory distress, hyperventilation, slow or irregular heartbeat, somnolence, abdominal upset, or other unusual symptoms.
