Precautions

This medication can cause a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis, so caution is required. Lactic acidosis is a condition where lactate accumulates excessively in the blood, leading to serious problems, especially in patients with reduced kidney function or heart disease. This medication should not be administered to patients with certain diseases, such as those with type 1 diabetes, severe renal impairment, acute myocardial infarction or heart failure, liver dysfunction, or pregnant or nursing women. When used with other drugs that lower blood sugar, hypoglycemic symptoms may occur, thus dose adjustment and careful monitoring are necessary. Elderly patients with decreased kidney function or unstable kidney function should undergo regular kidney function tests, and dose adjustments must be made based on kidney function. This medication should be temporarily discontinued in cases of acute illnesses, dehydration, severe infections, and before and after surgery or contrast agent administration for radiological examinations. Rare side effects such as acute pancreatitis or blistering skin conditions may occur, thus if severe abdominal pain or skin abnormalities occur, the physician should be notified immediately. Long-term use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency; if anemia or neurological symptoms arise, blood tests should be conducted, and supplementation may be required. It is advisable to avoid alcohol while taking this medication, and interactions with other medications may occur, so patients should consult with their healthcare providers regarding any medications being taken. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not use this medication and should choose other safe methods for blood sugar control. This medication is not recommended for children under 10 years of age, and elderly patients should adjust the dosage considering their kidney function. In the event of overdose, the risk of lactic acidosis increases, necessitating immediate hospital treatment. Store this medication out of the reach of children and avoid moisture.
