This medication should not be used in patients who have a hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or other components. It should also not be administered to patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Use with insulin or sulfonylureas, which can induce hypoglycemia, may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, so caution is required. Use of this medication is not recommended for patients with heart failure, particularly those with severe heart failure, and should be administered with care in mild heart failure cases. Acute pancreatitis may occur while taking this medication, so if persistent and severe abdominal pain arises, you must stop taking it immediately and consult a physician. A skin condition known as bullous pemphigoid may develop; therefore, if blisters or skin irritation appear, you should discontinue use and consult a specialist. Various adverse reactions have been reported, including hypoglycemia, infections, urticaria, rashes, constipation, and oral ulcers, so you must inform your doctor of any symptoms. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication and consult a healthcare professional if necessary. Safety in children has not been established, so it should not be used in pediatric patients. Elderly patients and those with impaired renal or liver function may use it without specific dose adjustments, but their conditions should be monitored carefully. In the case of overdose, measures should be taken to prevent drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and symptoms should be observed, administering appropriate treatment if necessary.
