This medication should not be used in patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to its components. Additionally, it contains lactose, so individuals with galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Rarely, severe allergic reactions similar to shock or anaphylaxis may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms occur during use, treatment should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought. Regular observation is necessary as there may be a decrease in white blood cells or platelets or liver function issues, and medication should be discontinued if abnormalities are observed. Allergic reactions such as hives, rash, and itching may occur, and neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may also be experienced. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and dysgeusia. If liver enzyme levels rise or fever and rash occur, medication should be stopped, and medical attention should be sought. Blood tests may reveal decreased white blood cells or platelets or other blood abnormalities, so caution is advised. Other symptoms may include breast pain, palpitations, fever, flushing of the face, tongue numbness, cough, shortness of breath, hair loss, menstrual irregularities, edema, etc. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should be cautious, as the safety of this medication is not clearly established; it should only be taken if deemed absolutely necessary. Breastfeeding women are advised to avoid this medication as it may pass into breast milk. Safety for children, neonates, and low-birth-weight infants has not been adequately established, so caution should be exercised. In elderly patients, physiological functions may decline, so special attention should be paid to gastrointestinal symptoms and other adverse reactions.
