- Liver and kidney function changes (rare)
Precautions:
- Kidney and Liver Function: Should not be used in patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction due to an increased risk of lactic acidosis from metformin and potential drug accumulation.
- Risk of Hypoglycemia: Patients should be cautious of hypoglycemia, particularly if meals are missed, alcohol is consumed, or physical activity increases.
- Heart Conditions: Should be used cautiously in patients with certain heart conditions.
- Alcohol Intake: Excessive alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis.
