This medicine may cause hypoglycemic symptoms. Be aware of operating in potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car and working at heights.
Take foods containing sugar or drink juice if any hypoglycemic symptoms occur. If you are taking in conjunction with α-glucosidase inhibitors (medicines which delay the uptake of glucose) and hypoglycemic symptoms develop, you must take in glucose.
Take a larger amount of water, since this medicine may cause dehydration. Intake of water or tea is desirable, since drink including sugar such as isotonic drink may increase blood glucose.
Do not stop taking water or decrease the amount of water on your own judgment.
Stop taking the medicine if you have repeated diarrhea/vomiting or cannot take food or water continuously due to decreased appetite.
