This medication is used to lower blood sugar; however, it can very rarely cause a serious condition known as lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis occurs when lactic acid accumulates excessively in the body and can be fatal. Therefore, caution is required. Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment, acute kidney disease, heart failure, or liver dysfunction may be at risk when taking this medication. Additionally, if undergoing radiologic dye studies, this medication should be discontinued 48 hours prior to the test and can be resumed only after renal function has been confirmed to be normal. This medication is not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Patients in a diabetic pre-coma state or those allergic to the active ingredients should also avoid taking this drug. In the event of severe infections, trauma, or before and after surgery, this medication should be temporarily discontinued, resuming only after the patient has recovered. The risk of hypoglycemia may increase when this medication is taken with other diabetes medications, so it is essential to be aware of the symptoms and management of hypoglycemia. Occasionally, acute pancreatitis, interstitial pneumonia, or skin allergy reactions may occur, so any unusual symptoms should be immediately reported to a healthcare provider. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers are advised to avoid taking this medication. The elderly may experience decreased renal function, so regular kidney function tests should be conducted, and dosage adjustments may be necessary if needed. In cases of overdose, it is imperative to seek immediate medical attention for appropriate treatment, and blood dialysis may be used to remove the medication from the system. This medication must be kept out of the reach of children, and transferring it to other containers should be avoided. During treatment, it is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption and to regularly monitor blood vitamin B12 levels through blood tests. Finally, if severe abdominal pain, vomiting, difficulty breathing, skin rash, or other unusual symptoms occur during the use of this medication, immediate consultation with a doctor is advised.
