This drug should not be used by patients who have previously experienced an allergic reaction to any of its components. While using this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur, so if symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and seek appropriate treatment. Additionally, there is a risk of decreased white blood cell or platelet count, so blood condition should be monitored regularly. Liver dysfunction or jaundice symptoms may appear, necessitating regular liver function tests and discontinuation of use if any abnormalities are found. If skin reactions such as urticaria, rash, or itching occur, the medication should be stopped as well. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and abdominal discomfort may occur, so these symptoms should be monitored. Safety during pregnancy has not been sufficiently established, so women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use it cautiously after consulting a doctor. Breastfeeding women should avoid breastfeeding as the medication may pass into breast milk. Safety in children, especially in infants and young children, has not been established, so caution in use is necessary. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, so they should be particularly attentive to abnormal reactions such as gastrointestinal symptoms. This drug should be stored in a secure place out of reach of children and transferring it to another container should be avoided as it may cause accidental ingestion or degradation of quality.
