Precautions

This medication contains lactose, so individuals with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not use it. While taking this medication, side effects related to the central nervous system, such as staggering, dizziness, and drowsiness, may occur, and rarely headaches or a sensation of heaviness in the head may appear. Gastrointestinal side effects may include nausea, reduced appetite, abdominal pain, and discomfort in the stomach, and rarely may include vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, abdominal bloating, or gastritis. Photosensitivity may occur on the skin, so care should be taken when exposed to sunlight, and if these symptoms appear, medication should be discontinued. Additionally, hypersensitivity symptoms such as rash or itching may occur, and in such cases, medication should also be discontinued and appropriate measures taken. Other potential symptoms include weakness, fatigue, and rarely swelling of the body or ringing in the ears, frequent urination, and inflammation in the mouth. During the use of this medication, drowsiness or decreased reflexes may occur, so it is safer to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the need for treatment outweighs the risks, as its safety in these cases is not established. In breastfeeding women, safety has not been established either, so it is advisable to avoid administration and, if unavoidable, to discontinue breastfeeding. There is limited experience in using this medication in children, and safety has not been adequately established, so caution is warranted. Elderly patients may have decreased physical functions, so adjustments to the dosage should be made accordingly.
