Additionally, the safety and efficacy of this medication have not been sufficiently confirmed in children or adolescents, so it should not be used by them. After taking the medication, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may rarely occur. Skin reactions such as rashes, urticaria, and itching may also occur, so caution is advised. This medication may lower blood sugar levels, so rare symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, sweating, headaches, and vision problems may occur; therefore, individuals who need to regulate their blood sugar should be cautious. Changes in taste sensations have also been reported rarely. Individuals who frequently consume alcohol are at risk of worsening nerve-related symptoms, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption during and after the treatment period. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of the specific anticancer drug cisplatin, so it should not be taken concurrently. Moreover, if taken with foods or medicines containing metallic components such as iron, magnesium, calcium, or milk, absorption may be hindered, so timing of administration should be adjusted. When taken with blood sugar-lowering insulin or other diabetes medications, blood sugar levels may drop too low; therefore, blood sugar should be checked frequently and medication dosage adjusted as necessary when first taking this medication. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it should be taken cautiously under a doctor's guidance since the effects on the fetus or infant are not clear. In case of overdose, serious symptoms of poisoning may occur, requiring immediate medical attention, and treatments such as inducing vomiting, gastric lavage, or administration of absorbents may be necessary.
