Precautions

This medication can rarely cause a serious metabolic disorder known as lactic acidosis, which can pose a threat to life. Caution is required when used in combination with other diabetes medications, as severe symptoms of hypoglycemia may occur. Patients with allergies to any component of this medication or similar drugs, those with liver dysfunction, or patients with muscular disorders should not use this medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or women of childbearing potential without appropriate contraception should not use this medication. Patients with severely impaired kidney function, acute infections, or severe dehydration should also avoid this medication. Patients scheduled for surgery should stop taking this medication 48 hours prior to the surgery and can resume once kidney function has recovered to normal. This medication should be used cautiously in cases of irregular or insufficient food intake, intense exercise, or when taking other medications. If symptoms of muscle pain or weakness develop, patients should immediately notify their healthcare provider for examination, and if necessary, discontinue the medication. This medication can burden the liver, so regular liver function tests should be performed, especially for those with a history of liver disease. Excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects from this medication, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must ensure appropriate contraception and discontinue the medication immediately if pregnancy occurs. Elderly patients are at a higher risk of decreased kidney function; therefore, regular kidney function tests should be conducted, and dosage adjustments may be necessary as required.
