This medication may put a strain on the liver, so those who regularly consume more than three cups of alcohol daily must consult with a doctor or pharmacist before taking it. The artificial sweetener aspartame included in this medication breaks down into phenylalanine in the body, so individuals with the hereditary condition phenylketonuria should not take this medication.

If unusual symptoms such as skin rash, itching, or red spots appear during use, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a doctor.

If symptoms such as difficulty breathing, facial flushing, severe rashes, vomiting, or abdominal pain occur during use, stop taking medication immediately and consult health personnel. Long-term use requires regular blood tests and liver function tests, and if abnormalities are found, the dosage should be reduced or discontinued. Children and the elderly should use the minimum effective dose and be carefully monitored after administration. Avoid taking this medication with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and consult health personnel if pain or fever symptoms persist for a long time.
