Precautions

This medication should generally not be used in patients with chronic liver disease or active liver disease.

If liver function test results increase, administration should be stopped immediately, and if symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, or jaundice appear, the doctor should be notified immediately. This medication can rarely cause severe liver damage, so if liver function abnormalities are suspected, prompt evaluation and discontinuation of the treatment are necessary.

Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should use this medication only after thoroughly considering its benefits and risks, and breastfeeding women should discontinue nursing while taking it.
