This medication is primarily used to control blood sugar levels. During the use of this medication, a rare complication called lactic acidosis may occur, so it is essential to check kidney and liver function before taking it. Patients with severely impaired kidney function or liver function problems, as well as those with acute illness or dehydration, should not take this medication. Additionally, it is not administered to patients with type 1 diabetes or those suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis or diabetic pre-coma. It is also recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women refrain from using this medication. This medication may cause hypoglycemia, so blood sugar must be monitored closely, especially when taken with insulin or sulfonylureas. It is important to regularly check kidney function during the use of this medication to ensure no abnormalities occur. Acute pancreatitis or skin blistering disorders may appear, so if there are continuous abdominal pain or skin abnormalities, consult a doctor immediately. The risk of lactic acidosis increases when this medication is taken with alcohol, so alcohol consumption should be avoided. Additionally, during the use of this medication, it may be necessary to temporarily interrupt drug use before and after certain radiological tests. In elderly patients, the decline in kidney function is common, so kidney function should be monitored more closely during the use of this medication. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in children, so it is not recommended for children under 10 years of age. If any unusual symptoms or discomfort occur during the use of the medication, it is important to consult a medical professional immediately.
