Precautions

This medication can very rarely cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis can occur when there is an excessive accumulation of lactate in the body, which can become dangerous and sometimes life-threatening. Caution should be exercised when taking this medication in combination with insulin or sulfonylurea medications, as hypoglycemia may occur. Hypoglycemia can lead to dizziness, trembling, and in severe cases, decreased consciousness due to extremely low blood sugar levels. Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment or heart issues, and in situations where acute renal failure is a concern, should not take this medication. Prior to receiving tests using radiocontrast iodine, this medication should be discontinued at least 48 hours in advance, and should only be resumed once renal function has returned to normal. Patients with type 1 diabetes, those in metabolic acidosis, and patients allergic to any of the drug components should also refrain from taking this medication. In cases of poor physical condition due to surgery, severe infections, or serious trauma, the medication should be temporarily suspended until the patient's condition improves. It is also advisable not to administer this medication to patients with impaired liver function, severe lung diseases, or those who consume alcohol excessively. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and caution should be exercised during breastfeeding. While taking this medication, regular checks of renal function and blood tests should be conducted to monitor for any abnormalities. Patients who are elderly or have reduced renal function may require more frequent testing. If symptoms of hypoglycemia occur, consume foods containing sugar immediately, and if symptoms are severe, consult a healthcare professional. This medication can occasionally lead to side effects such as abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, dizziness, and may rarely cause acute pancreatitis, interstitial pneumonia, or skin rashes, so any unusual symptoms should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, hence it is advisable to avoid drinking while on this medication. Furthermore, this medication may interact with other diabetes medications, so it is essential to inform a healthcare provider about any other medications being taken. Patients engaged in tasks requiring concentration, such as operating machinery or driving a vehicle, should particularly be aware of symptoms of hypoglycemia or lactic acidosis. In case of an overdose, visit a medical facility immediately for appropriate treatment, which may include blood dialysis to remove the drug. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and it is advisable not to transfer it to other containers.
