Rarely, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur, so if any unusual symptoms arise during use, discontinue the medication immediately and consult with a healthcare professional. There may be side effects that cause a decrease in white blood cells or platelets, so it is necessary to periodically check blood levels. Liver dysfunction or symptoms of jaundice may occur, so if any abnormalities arise along with liver function tests, the medication should be discontinued and a medical professional should be consulted. Allergic reactions such as hives, rashes, or itching may appear on the skin, so if such symptoms arise, discontinuation of the medication is necessary. There may be neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or paralysis, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal-related symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, or taste abnormalities may occur. If there is a rise in liver enzyme levels or accompanying symptoms such as fever or rash, discontinue the medication immediately and inform a healthcare professional. Blood tests may show changes in white blood cell or platelet counts, so regular testing is necessary.
