This medication is used for treating diabetes and helps in controlling blood sugar. While taking this medication, although rare, a serious condition called lactic acidosis can occur, so caution is needed. Lactic acidosis can be a dangerous condition where lactic acid accumulates in the body, so if symptoms appear, you must go to a hospital immediately. Hypoglycemia may occur when taken with other diabetes medications, so blood sugar level changes should be closely monitored. Patients with poor kidney function may be at risk when taking this medication, so regular kidney function tests are necessary, and the medication should be discontinued if kidney function falls below a certain level. It may be necessary to temporarily discontinue this medication during acute infections, dehydration, heart problems, or before and after severe injuries or surgeries. It is safest for women who are pregnant or might become pregnant not to take this medication.
