Precautions

This medication contains R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Metformin Hydrochloride. Individuals with allergies to this ingredient or any excipients in the medication should not take it. Taking this medication may lead to symptoms such as abnormal sensations, pain, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Rarely, serious side effects like kidney stones or facial swelling may occur. Additionally, individuals who consume alcohol frequently may experience reduced efficacy of this medication, so it is advisable to avoid drinking if possible. This medication should not be taken together with preparations containing iron or magnesium, or metal compounds such as milk, as they may interfere with absorption by binding in the body. Diabetic patients taking this medication should regularly check their blood sugar, as insulin or other diabetes medications may have increased effects, potentially lowering blood sugar too much and requiring dosage adjustments if necessary. Pregnant or nursing women should consider the benefits and risks of this medication carefully and follow a doctor's guidance. This medication is not to be used in children under 18, as its safety and efficacy have not been confirmed in this age group. If an overdose occurs, seek professional medical treatment immediately, as severe poisoning symptoms may require intensive care.
