Long-term use of this medication may significantly increase the risk of severe pulmonary disease known as pulmonary hypertension, and if symptoms like difficulty breathing or chest pain occur, it should be discontinued immediately, and medical examination should be sought.

In cases of overdose, serious symptoms such as anxiety, coma, seizures, changes in blood pressure, and vomiting may occur, and immediate medical attention is required.
