Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to its components. When taking this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur, so if symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and seek appropriate treatment. It is also important to monitor blood counts periodically, as leukopenia and thrombocytopenia may occur. In case of liver dysfunction, watch out for jaundice or increased liver enzyme levels, and monitor the condition of hepatic health closely. Skin allergic reactions such as hives, rash, and itching may occur; if these symptoms appear, discontinue use. This medication may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and numbness, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting may occur; if these symptoms occur, consult a healthcare professional. Women who are pregnant or possibly pregnant should use this drug only when the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. Women who are breastfeeding should avoid this medication as it may be excreted in breast milk. The safety of this medication has not been sufficiently confirmed in children, particularly in low-birth-weight infants, neonates, and infants, so use should be approached with caution. In older adults, while the frequency of adverse reactions does not differ significantly from that of the general adult population, bodily functions may be weakened, so extra caution should be taken regarding gastrointestinal symptoms. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children, and transferring it to another container should be avoided as it may lead to accidents or deterioration in quality.
