This medication may affect the central nervous system and can cause various symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and suicidal thoughts. If these symptoms appear or worsen during treatment, inform your doctor immediately, and if necessary, discontinue use. This medication should not be used by patients with allergies to its components or specific genetic metabolic disorders. Caution should be taken as side effects such as fatigue, headache, dyspepsia, cough, fever, and rash may occur during treatment. Particularly, children and the elderly can also take this medication, but it is important to consult a doctor regarding appropriate dosage and safety based on age. This medication is not intended for use during acute asthma attacks; separate emergency medications should be prepared for emergency situations. This medication may be used in conjunction with other asthma treatments, but when used with certain drugs, careful monitoring according to a doctor's instructions is necessary. Use during pregnancy should be undertaken only when necessary, and nursing mothers should consult with a healthcare professional before taking it. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so general emergency treatment and symptom management are required. Because it is sensitive to light, do not open the medication until it is time to take it, and take it immediately upon opening. Keep out of reach of children and do not transfer to other containers. If asthma symptoms worsen during treatment or the frequency of using a short-acting bronchodilator increases, seek medical attention immediately. Patients who have hypersensitivity to aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should not take this medication along with those drugs.
