This medicine should not be used by patients who are allergic to certain components. Moreover, this medicine contains lactose; therefore, patients with a genetic disease that causes lactose intolerance should not take it. Shock or severe allergic reactions may occur during the medication, so if symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and notify medical personnel. Blood cell count may decrease or liver function may become impaired, thus regular monitoring of the condition is required. Allergic reactions such as urticaria, rash, or itching may occur on the skin, and if such symptoms arise, use should be discontinued. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may appear, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or abdominal cramps may occur. If symptoms suggesting liver dysfunction or abnormal findings in blood tests develop, discontinue use immediately and consult medical personnel. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medicine cautiously, as its safety has not been established. Breastfeeding women should avoid this medicine, as it can be transmitted through breast milk. Safety for use in children or newborns has not been sufficiently verified, so caution should be exercised in their use. Elderly patients may experience weakened bodily functions, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal symptoms and other side effects.
