Warnings & precautions

Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Use with caution in liver disease; monitor blood glucose and liver enzymes as advised. Avoid in inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, or chronic intestinal diseases causing malabsorption. Risk of hypoglycaemia increases when used with insulin or sulfonylureas—treat low sugar with glucose (dextrose) rather than sucrose. Stop and seek care if severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, jaundice, or allergic reactions occur.
