It should not be administered to patients with liver disease, patients in a manic phase of bipolar disorder, or those with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance. Caution is advised for patients with hypertension, children, and the elderly when administering this medication. This medication can cause endocrine disorders leading to amenorrhea, excessive lactation, and gynecomastia, thus careful monitoring is necessary. Additionally, extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors, tongue twisting, and anxiety may occur rarely, and if these symptoms develop, the medication should be discontinued. With long-term use, involuntary movements around the mouth may appear, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Cardiac-related adverse effects such as hypertension or arrhythmia have also been reported, and in rare cases, neuroleptic malignant syndrome accompanied by high fever, muscle rigidity, and altered consciousness may occur, necessitating immediate treatment. Symptoms such as rash, swelling, burning sensation, fatigue, insomnia, drowsiness, and dizziness may also occur, and the use should be stopped if any abnormal symptoms appear. It is advisable to avoid activities requiring caution, such as driving or operating machinery, during the course of this medication. Moreover, concomitant use with certain medications may decrease the drug's effectiveness or increase side effects, so consultation with a healthcare provider is essential. For pregnant or nursing women, the safety for the fetus or newborn has not been established, and it is safer not to use it. In the elderly, decreased renal function may lead to prolonged retention of the drug in the body, increasing the risk of side effects; thus, dosage and administration intervals should be adjusted and used cautiously. Long-term use of this medication has been reported to potentially cause reproductive dysfunction or tumor formation, hence regular check-ups and monitoring are necessary during extended administration.
