The tablet is to be swallowed whole. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, but do not take two doses on the same day.

When used together with insulin or insulin secretagogues, there may be a risk of hypoglycemia, so it may be necessary to reduce the dosage of these medications.

Hypoglycemia, in particular, may occur more frequently when taken with insulin or sulfonylureas.

Elderly patients or those at risk of fluid loss should be cautious of dehydration or hypotension, and regular monitoring of physical status is essential. This medication may increase the risk of genital fungal infections, so appropriate treatment should be sought if related symptoms arise. It is recommended that this medication not be taken during pregnancy, and breastfeeding should also be discontinued if necessary. Safety and efficacy have not been established for children and adolescents, so it is not used in these populations. No specific toxicity has been reported in case of overdose, but appropriate treatment may be necessary depending on the clinical situation. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container should be avoided. There is a risk of hypoglycemia while driving or operating machinery, so caution is required, particularly when taken with insulin.
