This medication may rarely cause a serious metabolic disorder known as lactic acidosis; if symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately. Additionally, caution is required when used with insulin or sulfonylureas due to the risk of hypoglycemia. If symptoms of muscle pain or myopathy occur, discontinue use immediately and inform healthcare professionals. Patients with severely impaired renal function or certain conditions such as acute myocardial infarction or heart failure should not use this medication. The use of this medication should be temporarily suspended before and after examinations using iodine contrast agents, and should be resumed only after renal function has been confirmed to be normal. This medication is contraindicated for patients allergic to any components in the drug, patients with specific metabolic acidosis, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children under 10 years old. Irregular meals, excessive exercise, and excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects from this medication, so caution is necessary. During treatment, it is important to regularly check kidney and liver function and verify vitamin B12 levels. This medication should be avoided with alcohol consumption, and interactions may occur when used with other medications, so consult with a physician or pharmacist. If symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, or fever occur, inform healthcare professionals immediately and undergo examination. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take this medication and should use appropriate contraceptive methods. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney function, so dosage adjustments and regular monitoring are necessary. In case of overdose, seek appropriate treatment at a medical institution immediately, and keep out of reach of children.
