While taking this medication, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur infrequently.

It may lower blood sugar levels, leading to hypoglycemic symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, headaches, and visual disturbances; therefore, it is essential to monitor blood sugar closely.

During the course of this medication, consumption of alcohol should be avoided as it may worsen neurological symptoms and diminish therapeutic efficacy. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of the specific anticancer agent cisplatin, so it is advisable not to take them together. Taking it with medications containing metal components like iron or magnesium or consuming it with milk may hinder its absorption, so timing of administration should be adjusted. When taken together with insulin or other diabetes medications, the blood sugar-lowering effect may increase, necessitating regular monitoring of blood sugar and dosage adjustments if necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should cautiously evaluate the benefits and risks of this medication and follow a physician’s guidance when taking it. In the case of overdose, serious toxicity may occur, so if suspected, immediate hospital attention should be sought for appropriate treatment.
