This medication can cause seizures if taken above the recommended dosage, so it must be taken in the prescribed maximum dosage. Patients with a risk of epilepsy or seizures should use this medication only if absolutely necessary. Long-term use may result in psychological or physical dependence; therefore, patients with a history of drug abuse or dependence should use it strictly under close supervision for a short duration. Taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system depressants may lead to severe drowsiness, respiratory depression, coma, and in serious cases, death. Individuals genetically metabolizing this medication rapidly may experience a stronger effect than expected, increasing the risk of respiratory depression, so consult with a physician. Particularly, this medication should not be used in children under 12 years old and in patients under 18 years old who have undergone tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. Adolescents aged 12 to 18 years should avoid it if there are specific risk factors.

Patients with acute alcohol intoxication, central nervous system drug overdose, severe respiratory depression, head injury, those who have recently taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors, patients with severe kidney or liver disease, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with specific genetic disorders should not receive this medication. Caution should be exercised when using concurrently with morphine or in patients with liver disorders, kidney disorders, alcohol use, or a history of seizures, as drowsiness or dizziness may occur during medication use, and driving or operating machinery should be avoided. Discontinuing this medication abruptly may lead to withdrawal symptoms, so doses should be reduced gradually according to a physician's instructions. This medication may interact with various other drugs, so it is essential to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use this medication, particularly during breastfeeding, as it may cause serious side effects in the infant.
