Precautions

This medicine should not be used by individuals with allergic reactions to this drug. While taking it, temporary symptoms such as nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and changes in body odor may occur. Additionally, rashes or hives and swelling of the facial area may appear, so caution is advised. Symptoms of muscle weakness have been reported in patients with severely impaired kidney function, so extra care is needed for those with kidney disease. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medicine when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, because its safety during pregnancy has not been sufficiently established.
