This medication can lower blood sugar levels, and symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, sweating, headaches, and visual disturbances may occur, especially caution is needed for diabetic patients. Altered taste sensation has been reported rarely, so any changes in taste perception should be communicated. Those who frequently consume alcohol are at risk of exacerbating neurological symptoms; therefore, diabetic neuropathy patients are advised to avoid alcohol consumption during treatment and throughout the washout period.

When taken with iron or magnesium preparations, or foods containing calcium such as milk, absorption of the drug in the body may decrease; therefore, dosing times should be adjusted.
