This medication helps control blood sugar. However, it should not be used by patients with poor kidney function or those with heart disease. Additionally, it should be temporarily discontinued in cases of acute infection, severe trauma, or before and after surgery. This medication can rarely cause a serious side effect known as lactic acidosis, so if symptoms such as difficulty breathing, muscle pain, weakness, or abdominal pain occur, consult a doctor immediately. Furthermore, hypoglycemic symptoms may occur, so caution is advised if meals are skipped or excessive exercise is undertaken. Patients with impaired liver function or those who consume alcohol excessively should also avoid this medication. It is advised that women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as breastfeeding women, do not use this medication. Elderly patients may experience reduced kidney function, so regular checks and dosage adjustments are necessary. While taking this medication, if used with other diabetes medications, the risk of hypoglycemia may increase, so it is important to be well-informed about hypoglycemic symptoms and responses. Additionally, this medication should be discontinued before tests that use certain contrast agents and resumed only after kidney function is confirmed to be normal following the tests. It is important to regularly check kidney function and vitamin B12 levels through blood tests while taking this medication. Side effects such as constipation, abdominal pain, dizziness, and rash may occur; consult a doctor if symptoms are severe. Lastly, the safety and efficacy of this medication have not been confirmed in children, so it is not used in pediatric patients.
