This medication should not be used in patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction or heart failure. It is necessary to stop taking this medication at least 48 hours before any examinations using iodine contrast agents and to restart it only after confirming that kidney function is normal. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and it is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. This medication should not be used in patients with impaired liver function, and rare side effects such as interstitial pneumonia or acute pancreatitis may occur, so immediate medical consultation is necessary if symptoms appear. In case of hypoglycemic symptoms, immediate action such as consuming sugary foods should be taken. It is important to regularly monitor kidney function and perform blood tests to check for any abnormalities while taking this medication. In cases of severe infections, trauma, or before and after surgery, this medication should be temporarily stopped, and it can be restarted only after confirming that symptoms have improved and kidney function is normal.
