This medication is one of the antihyperglycemic agents used for patients with hyperglycemia and belongs to the second-generation oral hypoglycemic drugs. It exerts a certain blood glucose–lowering effect in patients with elevated blood glucose levels. Patients with hyperglycemia should pay close attention to their diet: avoid foods high in sugar, and also limit or avoid starchy foods such as rice, wheat flour, and potatoes, as consumption of these foods may readily elevate blood glucose levels.
