This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its components. Care should be taken when administering to patients with gastric ulcers suspected of being malignant, as symptom relief may delay diagnosis. It cannot be taken with certain antiviral medications, so a consultation with a physician is necessary. Patients with poor liver function or the elderly should use this medication cautiously, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Neurological symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, or dizziness may appear, and if there are indications of liver dysfunction, the medication should be stopped immediately. Gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain may frequently occur, and symptoms should be monitored. If skin rashes or itching occur, or in severe cases, severe skin reactions occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and a doctor consulted. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema or shock may occur, so any unusual symptoms should be reported to medical personnel immediately. Long-term use may increase the risk of fractures or cause hypomagnesemia, so regular examinations are necessary. This drug can interact with other medications, so any ongoing medications should be disclosed to healthcare providers. Pregnant or nursing women should carefully consider the risks and benefits of this drug and should avoid it if possible. Safety in children has not been adequately confirmed, so use in children should be approached with caution. In case of overdose, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches may occur, and if any abnormal symptoms arise, immediate medical attention should be sought. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to different containers; the lid should be tightly closed after use.
