⚠ Warnings and Precautions

Contact your doctor or nearest hospital immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Nausea or feeling unwell
• Stomach pain
• Excessive thirst or rapid, deep breathing
• Confusion, unusual drowsiness, or fatigue
• Sweet-smelling breath or a sweet or metallic taste in your mouth
• Unusual smell in your urine or sweat, or rapid weight loss

These symptoms could indicate diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious, life-threatening condition caused by an increase in "ketone bodies" in the blood or urine, which can be detected in tests.

The risk of diabetic ketoacidosis may increase with prolonged fasting, excessive alcohol consumption, dehydration, sudden reduction in insulin dose, or major surgery or illness.

If you suspect you have diabetic ketoacidosis, stop using this medicine and seek immediate medical care.
