This medication helps to control blood sugar levels, and there are several precautions to consider when using it. First, it can rarely cause a serious condition known as lactic acidosis, so patients with impaired kidney function, heart disease, or compromised liver function should avoid using this medication. Additionally, symptoms of hypoglycemia may occur when used with insulin or other diabetes medications, so it is important to know the symptoms of hypoglycemia and take appropriate measures immediately if they occur. This medication should not be administered to patients with reduced kidney function, and those scheduled for surgery or radiologic contrast examinations should stop taking it at least 48 hours prior and resume only after confirming normal kidney function. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, patients with severe infections, trauma, or malnutrition should also avoid using this medication. Regular monitoring of liver and kidney function is necessary while taking this medication, and it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption. This medication may lower vitamin B12 levels, so it is important to check vitamin B12 levels with long-term use. Moreover, if severe sudden abdominal pain, vomiting, or difficulty breathing occurs during the course of this medication, consult a physician immediately. Elderly patients or those with reduced kidney function require dosage adjustments and regular function tests, and care should be taken when performing tasks requiring concentration, such as driving or working at heights, considering the risk of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. Finally, safety and efficacy in children have not been established, so this medication is not used for children.
