You should take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it. Do not stop taking the medicine unless your doctor recommends it. It is important to continue eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly while taking this medicine. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.

The most common side effect of this medicine is hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include lightheadedness, sweating, dizziness, fainting, dry mouth, nausea, and vomiting. It is important to recognize the side effects and know how to deal with them. You can carry sugar or glucose candy to control low blood sugar levels. It may also cause nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infections like sore throat, cough, and cold. Contact your doctor if the side effects worry you or if they do not go away.
