During treatment, irregular meals, intense exercise, and interactions with other medications can increase the risk of side effects; therefore, caution is advised.

Regular monitoring of kidney function, liver function, and muscle status is necessary to safely use the medication. Excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
