Gastrointestinal Effects:
Sometimes, this medicine might cause stomach issues. This can lead to dehydration in rare cases, which can affect your kidneys. If you notice any stomach problems, be aware of the risk of dehydration and make sure to drink enough water.
Acute Pancreatitis:
In rare cases, our medication can cause a problem with your pancreas called acute pancreatitis. It's essential to know the symptoms of this issue. If you ever suspect you have it, stop taking the medication and talk to your doctor. If it's confirmed, don't restart the medication. Be cautious if you've had pancreatitis before.
For Patients with Diabetes:
If you have diabetes, remember that this medication isn't a replacement for insulin.
Hypoglycemia in Patients with Diabetes:
If you have diabetes and you're taking this medication along with insulin or certain other diabetes drugs, you might be at a higher risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). To reduce this risk, your doctor might adjust your insulin or other medications. We haven't studied adding this medication if you're already taking insulin.
Diabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes:
If you have type 2 diabetes and you're using this medication, you should be aware that there's a slightly higher risk of complications with your eyes. Rapid improvement in your blood sugar control can sometimes temporarily worsen diabetic retinopathy. Make sure to keep a close eye on your eye health and follow your doctor's advice.

We don't have enough information about how this medication affects people with severe heart problems (New York Heart Association class IV) or people who are 75 years or older.
