• Nausea, diarrhea, constipation

• Upper respiratory infections, flatulence

Safety Warnings

• Avoid alcohol (increases hypoglycemia risk).

• Not for Type 1 Diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

• Caution in kidney/liver disease (dose adjustment may be needed).

• Pregnant/breastfeeding women: Consult doctor before use.

• Monitor blood sugar regularly; lifestyle changes (diet/exercise) are essential.

Missed Dose?

Take as soon as remembered, but skip if close to the next dose. Do not double dose.

Why Continue Treatment?

Stopping suddenly may spike blood sugar, increasing risks of complications (kidney damage, nerve problems).
