General warnings
Hypoglycemia
Gp 4 MG Tablet can produce moderate to severe blood glucose reductions. The hazards are significantly higher for the elderly, malnourished individuals, and those with renal and hormone issues. You should inform your doctor of any similar incidents. Carry a stable supply of glucose, such as sugar sweets, to combat low blood sugar levels.

Replacement with an appropriate alternative should be explored under the guidance of a physician.
Fluid Retention

This risk is elevated in the elderly, those on diuretics (medications that enhance pee output), and those with decreased volume (a condition that causes a decrease in fluid volume due to excess loss of sodium and water from the body). Request dosage changes or an alternative medication if necessary.

Disease interactions
Heart disease
Due to the increased risk of developing heart failure, Gp 4 MG Tablet should be used with extreme caution if you have cardiovascular disease (conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels). To use this medication safely, your doctor may alter your dosage or regularly monitor your cardiac functions.
Kidney disease
If you have a medical condition that affects your kidneys, you should take Gp 4 MG Tablet with caution, since a damaged kidney will not remove the medication fully. This increases the amount of unneeded medication in your body, resulting in severe negative effects. In such circumstances, you may require dose modifications or an alternative medication.
Liver disease
If you have liver difficulties, you should use Gp 4 MG Tablet with caution, since a damaged liver will not adequately break down and absorb this medication.

Your doctor may recommend an alternate medication or change the dosage to ensure the safe use of this medication.

If necessary, see your doctor about dose modifications or other medications.
