The safety and efficacy of this medication in children and adolescents have not been fully established, so it should not be administered to this age group. Rarely, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur after taking this medication. Allergic reactions such as skin rash, hives, and itching may occur rarely, and if any abnormal symptoms arise, medical consultation should be sought immediately. This medication can lower blood sugar levels, potentially causing hypoglycemic symptoms, along with dizziness, sweating, headaches, and vision problems, so caution is advised. Occasionally, taste disturbances have been reported, and if such symptoms occur, they should be notified. Patients who frequently consume alcohol may have an increased risk of worsening neurological symptoms, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption to prevent reducing the effectiveness of this medication. It may decrease the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, so care should be taken not to take it simultaneously. Taking this medication with preparations containing iron, magnesium, or milk can interfere with its absorption in the body, so it's recommended to take this drug 30 minutes before meals, and to take iron supplements during meals. When taken with insulin or other diabetes medications, the blood sugar-lowering effect may be increased, thus regular blood glucose monitoring and dosage adjustments may be necessary.

In cases of overdose, serious poisoning symptoms may occur, so the dosage must be strictly adhered to, and immediate medical attention should be sought if suspicious symptoms arise.
