This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant and in nursing mothers. It should not be administered to patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation as it may stimulate gastrointestinal motility, which can be harmful. It is advisable to avoid use in patients with specific conditions that can lead to increased blood pressure due to tumors, as this medication may worsen symptoms. Patients with allergic reactions or intolerable side effects to this medication should also avoid its use. Patients with epilepsy, manic states, or in the manic phase of bipolar disorder should also refrain from using this medication. Patients with breast-related conditions should be cautious as this medication may affect hormone secretion and worsen symptoms. Careful administration is needed for patients with hypertension, children, and the elderly, especially avoiding overdosing in children. This medication can cause menstrual irregularities, excessive milk secretion, and gynecomastia due to hormonal imbalance, so it should be discontinued immediately if these symptoms appear. Rarely, neurological symptoms such as tremors, abnormal tongue movements, and anxiety may occur, and the medication should be stopped if these symptoms manifest. Long-term use may result in unintended movements of the face or mouth, and discontinuation of the medication is necessary in such cases. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation may arise, so caution is advised. Heart-related issues such as hypertension or arrhythmias may develop, and cardiac health should be monitored closely. If serious symptoms such as high fever, muscle stiffness, or altered consciousness occur during the use of this medication, immediate medical attention should be sought. Skin rashes or swelling may occur infrequently, and the medication should be discontinued if these symptoms develop. Drowsiness, dizziness, or insomnia may occur during treatment, so driving or operating machinery should be avoided. Long-term use may result in menstrual irregularities or changes in libido due to hormonal changes, but these are typically temporary. This medication may interact with other drugs, and caution is needed when used with anticholinergics, analgesics, specific heart medications, and psychiatric drugs. It is advisable to avoid concomitant use with alcohol and medications that may cause electrolyte imbalances. Pregnant or nursing women should not use this medication for the safety of the fetus and newborn. Older patients should use it cautiously, adjusting the dosage and frequency due to potential renal function decline that may prolong the drug's presence in the body. This medication inhibits vomiting, which may conceal or worsen vomiting symptoms from other conditions, so the clinical status should be carefully monitored. Animal experiments have reported reproductive dysfunction and potential tumor occurrence with high-dose administration, thus long-term high-dose use should be approached with caution.
