This medication should not be administered to certain patients. For example, it should not be used in individuals who are allergic to the active ingredient or excipients, patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, individuals with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders, and patients undergoing dialysis. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients with reduced fluid volume or impaired renal function. This drug can lower blood pressure or affect renal function, so elderly patients or those taking diuretics need to be monitored more closely. Evaluate fluid status and renal function thoroughly before administration, and continuously monitor blood pressure and renal function during treatment. This medication may cause various side effects including genital infections, urinary tract infections, hypoglycemia, reduced fluid volume, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Genital infections may occur more frequently in women, so immediate treatment should be sought if symptoms arise. The risk of hypoglycemia may be increased when used in conjunction with insulin or sulfonylureas, so dosage adjustments may be necessary when using these agents together. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised not to use this medication. If pregnancy is confirmed, treatment should be discontinued immediately, and it is safe to avoid this medication during breastfeeding. Elderly patients or those with impaired renal function are at higher risk of side effects from this drug and should be more cautious. Additionally, this medication may yield a positive result in urine glucose tests, so take this into account during blood glucose monitoring. This drug may interact with other medications, so especially when taking diuretics, insulin, or sulfonylureas, consultation with a physician or pharmacist is necessary. Patients taking lithium should have their blood lithium levels checked more frequently. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so appropriate treatment based on the patient's condition is essential. Finally, the safety and efficacy of this medication in children have not been established, so it is preferable not to use it in this population. When storing the drug, keep it out of reach of children and store it in its original container to maintain quality.
