This medication should not be administered to patients receiving treatment for blood disorders, kidney or liver diseases, gastric and duodenal diseases, asthma, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatism.

Moreover, caution is needed when taken with steroids, antibiotics, antineoplastics, and certain antifungals. Taking this medication concurrently with similar drugs may exacerbate side effects. Patients with a history of blood dyscrasias such as erythrocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, or leukopenia should be cautious as this medication may further decrease blood cell counts. People with hypersensitivity to histamine H2 receptor antagonists should not take this medication.
