This medication should not be used in people who are allergic to the active ingredient or additives, in patients with type 1 diabetes, and in patients undergoing dialysis. Caution is required when using this medication in patients with low fluid volume or renal function issues. This medication can cause low blood pressure or temporary deterioration of kidney function, so fluid status and kidney function should be carefully monitored before and after administration. For patients with moderate to severe renal impairment, the effectiveness in controlling blood sugar may be reduced; therefore, it is not recommended for patients with severely reduced kidney function. While taking this medication, side effects such as genital infections, urinary tract infections, hypoglycemia, decreased fluid volume, diabetic ketoacidosis, and changes in kidney function may occur, so immediate consultation with a physician is advisable if symptoms arise. Particularly in the elderly, patients with weak kidney function, or those taking diuretics, caution is warranted due to the increased risk of decreased fluid volume and low blood pressure. It is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women to avoid using this medication, and to stop taking it immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication can increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used in conjunction with insulin or sulfonylureas, so dosage adjustments for these medications may be needed. During treatment, it is important to regularly monitor fluid volume status, blood sugar, and kidney function and to inform healthcare providers immediately if any abnormal symptoms appear. Additionally, the safety and efficacy of this medication in children have not been established, so it should not be used in this population. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote; appropriate treatment should be provided based on symptoms, and assistance from healthcare providers may be required. Finally, this medication should be stored in its original container and kept out of reach of children, and it is safest not to change the container.
