This medication is used to treat diabetes. Care must be taken as rare side effects, such as severe lactic acidosis, may occur when taking this medication. Lactic acidosis is a serious condition caused by the accumulation of lactic acid in the body and can sometimes be life-threatening. Moreover, if taken together with insulin or sulfonylurea medications, severe hypoglycemia may occur, so blood sugar levels should be closely monitored. Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, sepsis, or liver dysfunction should not use this medication, as it may pose risks. Before tests involving iodine contrast agents, this medication should be stopped at least 48 hours in advance, and it should only be resumed after confirming that kidney function is normal following the test. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as patients with severe infections or traumatic injuries, should also avoid taking this medication. Since this medication poses a risk of hypoglycemia, special caution is needed when there are irregular meals, intense exercise, or if used in combination with other diabetes medications. Some patients may experience side effects such as abdominal pain, constipation, liver dysfunction, pneumonia, skin rashes, acute pancreatitis; if any unusual symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately. During treatment, it is important to regularly monitor kidney function, blood tests, and vitamin B12 levels. Alcohol intake may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, so it is advisable to avoid excessive drinking. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney function, so dosage adjustments and regular check-ups are necessary. During the course of taking this medication, it is crucial to be fully aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia and how to handle them, and to take caution when driving or performing hazardous tasks. In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention for appropriate treatment, and blood dialysis may be required. This medication has not established safety for use in children, so it is best not to use it. Finally, keep this medication out of reach of children and do not transfer it to another container for safety.
