During pregnancy, high doses should be avoided as safety has not been established, and it is not recommended to take this drug while breastfeeding since it can pass into breast milk. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking contraceptives that contain estrogen, or at risk for thrombosis must consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use. Individuals with a history of bronchial asthma, skin rashes, or hives, or who are taking vitamin A or K together, need to be cautious as this medication may affect vitamin absorption. Those taking medications that affect blood clotting, weight loss medications, certain laxatives, or children taking iron supplements should consult a professional before use. Patients with issues related to lipid metabolism such as hyperlipidemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, or pancreatitis should use this medication with caution, and those with hypersensitivity to specific dyes included in this medication should also be careful. If symptoms such as digestive discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, skin rash, nausea, muscle weakness, fatigue, headache, or blurred vision occur during use, the medication should be stopped immediately and a professional should be consulted. If menstrual bleeding becomes abnormally rapid or excessive, use should be stopped and consultation is necessary. Care should be taken when children or underweight infants take this medication in high doses, as it can delay iron absorption or cause vitamin E deficiency anemia. High-dose use may cause side effects such as nausea, intestinal cramps, fatigue, headache, visual disturbances, impaired reproductive function, increased blood cholesterol and triglycerides, elevated urinary estrogen and androgen, and decreased serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels, but these recover upon discontinuation of the medication. Patients at risk for lipid overload should regularly check plasma lipid levels and adjust the dosage accordingly, taking into account total lipid amounts when using other lipid-regulating medications.
