This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its components. During the use of this medication, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur, so it is essential to immediately discontinue use and seek medical help if symptoms arise. Additionally, there may be a decrease in white blood cells and platelet counts, making it crucial to periodically check the condition through blood tests. This drug may affect liver function, so if liver function test results are abnormal, discontinuation and appropriate treatment should be pursued. Skin hypersensitivity reactions such as itching, rash, and hives may occur, so if such symptoms develop, the medication should be stopped. Dizziness or drowsiness, as well as paresthesia, may occur, so caution should be taken when driving or operating hazardous machinery. In the gastrointestinal system, symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea may manifest. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant should cautiously use this medication after consulting with a doctor, as its safety has not been definitively established. Lactating women should avoid breastfeeding while on this medication, as it may be excreted in breast milk. Caution should be used in children, particularly those with low birth weight or newborns, as safety has not been sufficiently verified. Elderly patients may have diminished bodily functions, thus extra caution should be exercised regarding potential side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should be stored in its original container to prevent degradation or accidents.
