View approved original text

This medication is used to assist in blood sugar control for patients with type 2 diabetes. It is administered alone at the beginning of treatment, and if adequate blood sugar control is not achievable with monotherapy, it can be used in combination with metformin. Additionally, if blood sugar control is challenging with therapies such as sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or insulin alone, this medication can be combined to enhance therapeutic effects. Even in cases of using multiple agents, this medication helps in managing blood sugar levels, contributing to diabetes management. Thus, this medication is used to improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Precautions

This medication may cause severe allergic reactions in some patients. If symptoms such as skin rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or neck occur after taking the medication, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor. While taking this medication, monitor carefully for symptoms of pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, including severe abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.

This medication should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, and it should not be administered to individuals with a known allergy to this medication or its components. In patients with impaired kidney function, the excretion of this medication may slow down, thus dosage adjustments should be made based on renal function test results. In particular, it is recommended to administer lower doses to end-stage renal patients undergoing dialysis. This medication can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes treatments; however, when taken alongside insulin or sulfonylureas, the risk of hypoglycemia may increase, so closely monitor changes in blood sugar levels. Common side effects reported in clinical trials include upper respiratory infections, nasopharyngitis, headaches, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, most of which are mild or transient. If severe joint pain or skin blisters occurs while taking this medication, inform a doctor immediately and discontinue the use of the medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised against its use due to uncertain safety. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Elderly patients are at a higher risk for decreased kidney function; therefore, assessment of renal function before administration of this medication and dosage adjustments are necessary. In the event of overdose, symptomatic treatment is generally implemented. This medication can be partially removed through hemodialysis, so consider hemodialysis if needed. This medication has not shown significant interactions when taken with several other medications, but it is advisable to consult healthcare personnel if it is to be taken with certain drugs.
