This medication is used for treating diabetes and helps in controlling blood sugar levels. However, this medication should not be administered to patients with moderate or severe renal impairment. If kidney function is impaired, the drug can accumulate in the body, leading to a dangerous condition known as lactic acidosis. Additionally, it is advisable not to use this medication in patients with severe heart disease, acute infections, severe trauma, or liver dysfunction. When used with other diabetes medications, there is an increased risk of hypoglycemia, so caution should be taken regarding hypoglycemic symptoms. Patients with a history of abdominal surgery or bowel obstruction, or those with heart issues related to QT interval prolongation should also use this medication cautiously. If persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, skin rash, or difficulty breathing occur while taking this medication, consult a doctor immediately. This medication is not recommended for use in pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, as well as in nursing mothers. For elderly patients, kidney function may decline, so regular kidney function tests are necessary, and it is advisable not to use maximum doses. In cases of overdose, visit a hospital immediately for appropriate treatment, and blood dialysis may be helpful. It is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption during the course of this medication, and the drug may need to be temporarily discontinued in the event of acute illness, dehydration, or before and after surgery. Also, due to the possibility of decreased vitamin B12 levels, regular blood tests are necessary to monitor this. Patients taking this medication should be well-informed about hypoglycemic symptoms and their management, especially if they are driving or operating machinery. Lastly, this medication is not used in children as its safety and efficacy have not been established.
