Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to its components. During the use of this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur. If symptoms appear, immediately discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. There may also be a decrease in white blood cell or platelet counts, so regular blood tests are necessary, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be stopped and appropriate treatment should be received. As it may affect liver function, liver function tests are also important, and if symptoms of liver dysfunction or jaundice occur, the medication should be discontinued and instructions from a healthcare professional should be followed. Skin hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, rashes, or itching may occur, so if these symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur, so if symptoms are severe, inform a healthcare professional. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a physician before use, as the safety of this medication has not been established. If breastfeeding, it is better to avoid breastfeeding as the drug may pass into breast milk. Caution is needed when used in children, particularly in newborns or infants, as safety has not been sufficiently established. Elderly patients may have a similar incidence of adverse reactions compared to adults, but as physical function may decline, extra caution is required regarding gastrointestinal side effects.
