This medication may increase the risk of genital infections and urinary tract infections; appropriate treatment should be sought if relevant symptoms occur. Due to the risk of hypoglycemia, especially when taken in conjunction with insulin or sulfonylureas, blood sugar levels should be frequently checked and medication doses adjusted as needed. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised not to take this medication, and it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed.

During the use of this medication, caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery due to the possibility of hypoglycemic symptoms, and it is important to regularly monitor kidney function and blood sugar levels as directed by a physician.
