This medication carries a risk of pancreatitis, inflammation of the pancreas, so if severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever develops, promptly inform a healthcare professional. This medication is not to be used in patients with allergies to specific components, type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those undergoing dialysis. It should be used cautiously in patients with reduced fluid volume or impaired kidney function, as there could be a risk of blood pressure drops or worsening kidney function requiring regular monitoring. This medication may cause hypoglycemia, so especially when taken with insulin or sulfonylurea medications, careful monitoring of blood glucose levels may be necessary and dose adjustments may be needed. There may be an increased risk of genital infections or urinary tract infections, so if symptoms of infection arise, immediate treatment should be sought, particularly in patients with a history of infections. This medication is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and should be discontinued if pregnancy is confirmed. In elderly patients, there may be reduced kidney function, making dose adjustments and monitoring of kidney function vital, along with careful attention to fluid volume and low blood pressure. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so appropriate treatment based on symptoms should be received, and dialysis may be considered if needed. While taking this medication, caution is advised when driving or operating machinery due to the risk of hypoglycemia.
