Various side effects such as sensory disturbances, pain, headaches, constipation, and dry mouth may occur while taking this medication, and some patients have reported serious side effects such as nephrolithiasis. If this medication is used for a long period or repeatedly, symptoms such as muscle pain, decreased appetite, insomnia, and nausea may appear, so it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional if unusual symptoms occur. Moreover, individuals who frequently consume alcohol are at increased risk of exacerbating neuropathic symptoms, which may interfere with the effectiveness of this medication, so it is best to avoid alcohol consumption as much as possible. This medication may inhibit absorption when taken with foods containing certain metal components (iron, magnesium, etc.) or calcium, so it should be taken at spaced intervals. Additionally, when used with insulin or other diabetes medications, there is a risk of blood sugar becoming too low, so blood sugar levels should be checked frequently and medication dosages adjusted as necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication cautiously under medical guidance, considering the benefits and risks, and it is safe for children under 18 not to use this medication. In case of overdose, severe toxicity symptoms (confusion, generalized seizures, hypoglycemia, etc.) may occur, so appropriate treatment should be sought immediately at a hospital.
