This drug is used for controlling blood sugar levels. However, it should not be administered to patients with severely impaired kidney function, heart failure, or acute kidney dysfunction. Furthermore, patients undergoing surgery, those with severe infections, or those with severe trauma should temporarily discontinue the medication and restart it once they have recovered. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid taking this medication. This drug can rarely cause a severe side effect called lactic acidosis, which can be life-threatening; therefore, if symptoms such as difficulty breathing, weakness, or abdominal pain occur, immediate consultation with a doctor is necessary. Additionally, there is a risk of hypoglycemia, so blood sugar changes should be closely monitored when used with insulin or sulfonylurea medications. Patients with severely impaired liver function or those who consume excessive alcohol should also avoid taking this medication. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood tests during treatment is important. This drug is not recommended for nursing women, and safety in children has not been established. Elderly patients may have a risk of declining kidney function, necessitating dosage adjustments and regular testing. In case of overdose, appropriate treatment should be sought immediately, and blood dialysis may be helpful. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers. During treatment, if there are sudden severe abdominal pains, difficulty breathing, rashes, or blisters, the doctor should be notified immediately.
