This medication is used to control blood sugar levels and should not be administered to patients with poor kidney function. While rare, serious lactic acidosis can occur while on this medication. If symptoms such as malaise, muscle pain, difficulty breathing, or abdominal pain appear, it is important to consult a doctor immediately. Hypoglycemia may occur when used with other diabetes medications, so careful monitoring of blood sugar levels is required. It is advisable not to take this medication if you are experiencing acute infections, dehydration, heart disease, or liver dysfunction. When undergoing examinations using iodine-based contrast agents, you should discontinue this medication at least 48 hours before the test and resume only after confirming that kidney function is normal. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use this medication, and women who may become pregnant should also avoid it. Elderly patients are at higher risk for decreased kidney function, so kidney function tests should be performed prior to administration, and regular monitoring should continue during treatment. Excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided while taking this medication, as alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Patients with a risk of decreased fluid volume or low blood pressure should carefully monitor blood pressure and fluid status while on this medication. This medication may increase the risk of genital infections and urinary tract infections, so if any infection symptoms appear, prompt treatment should be sought. If blood sugar control fails or abnormal symptoms develop, consult healthcare professionals immediately for appropriate action. Regular blood tests and monitoring of vitamin B12 levels should be performed while taking this medication to check for abnormalities. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery due to possible dizziness. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and stored in its original container to maintain quality.
