This medication should not be used in certain patients. Patients with allergies to the active ingredient or excipients of this medication, patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, and those with lactose intolerance or specific genetic problems should not be administered this medication. Additionally, patients undergoing dialysis should not use this medication. It should be used cautiously in patients with decreased fluid volume or kidney function issues. This medication may lower blood pressure or reduce blood volume, which can lead to symptomatic hypotension or rapid changes in kidney function. This risk may be higher in patients with decreased kidney function, the elderly, and those taking diuretics, thus careful monitoring is necessary before and during administration. Adverse effects of this medication may include genital infections, urinary tract infections, hypoglycemia, reduced fluid volume, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Genital infections are more common in women, usually with mild symptoms that respond well to treatment, but in rare cases, treatment discontinuation may be necessary. Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur when this medication is used with insulin or blood glucose-lowering agents like sulfonylureas, requiring careful attention. This medication is not recommended for patients with severely impaired liver function, and the elderly may be more susceptible to reduced fluid volume and changes in kidney function, necessitating caution. Also, glucose may be detected in urine tests while taking this medication. Pregnant women should not use this medication, and it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Furthermore, breastfeeding women should also not take this medication. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, especially in cases where diuretics, insulin, or blood glucose-lowering agents are used together, dosage adjustments and caution are required. Patients taking lithium should frequently monitor serum lithium levels. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so symptomatic treatment should be given, and medical assistance should be sought if necessary. Finally, this medication does not significantly affect the ability to drive or operate machinery, but when taken with other blood glucose-lowering agents, the risk of hypoglycemia should be acknowledged and precautions taken.
