Acute pancreatitis symptoms may occur, and if severe abdominal pain persists, the medication should be discontinued immediately and a physician consulted. Bullous pemphigoid may occur, so if such symptoms appear, the medication should be stopped immediately. Signs of hypoglycemia may occur while taking this medication, so blood sugar levels should be monitored closely. Adverse reactions reported in clinical trials may include infections, allergic reactions, gastrointestinal disturbances, and skin rashes.

It is not recommended for children under 10 years old or adolescents, as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established. Elderly patients can use this medication without special dosage adjustments. Patients with impaired renal or liver function can also receive the standard dosage.
