Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with certain conditions such as adrenal tumors or pheochromocytoma. Individuals allergic to any components of this medication or those with a genetic condition that prevents the digestion of lactose should also avoid this drug. Patients with a history of peptic ulcers or active ulcers should use this medication with caution, and those with asthma or on antihistamines should take special care. Gastrointestinal-related side effects such as diarrhea, decreased appetite, and abdominal bloating may occur, and nausea or vomiting may rare occur. Additionally, symptoms such as hives, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, chest pain, excessive sweating, and skin rashes may appear. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with antihistamines, so caution is advised when using them together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication when the benefits outweigh any potential risks due to its uncertain safety profile during pregnancy. There is limited experience with pediatric use, and its safety has not been established in children, so caution is needed. Elderly patients may have reduced physical function, requiring careful management and potential dosage reduction. Reported symptoms of overdose include dry mouth, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and nausea; in severe cases, seizures may occur, but symptoms generally resolve completely. In the case of overdose, standard emergency measures should be implemented. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. Additionally, transferring the medication to a different container should be avoided as it can create risks of accidents or reduce the quality of the medication.
