Patient Information ⮝
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information).
Patients should be informed of the potential risks and benefits of CYCLOSET and of alternative therapies. Patients should also be informed about the importance of adherence to dietary instructions, regular physical activity, periodic blood glucose monitoring and HbA1c testing, recognition and management of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and assessment for diabetes complications. During periods of stress such as fever, trauma, infection, or surgery, medication requirements may change and patients should be advised to seek medical advice promptly.

During early treatment with CYCLOSET, patients should be advised to make slow postural changes and to avoid situations that could predispose to serious injury if syncope was to occur.
Patients should be advised that CYCLOSET may cause somnolence. Advise patients not to operate heavy machinery if symptoms of somnolence occur.
Women who are nursing their children should be advised to not take CYCLOSET.
Physicians should instruct their patients to read the Patient Package Insert before starting CYCLOSET therapy and to reread it each time the prescription is renewed. Patients should be instructed to inform their healthcare provider if they develop any unusual symptoms or if any known symptom persists or worsens.
