Moreover, extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors, tongue twisting, and anxiety may rarely occur, necessitating caution.

Rarely, a serious side effect known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome may occur, characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, and altered consciousness, requiring immediate medical attention.

Combining with alcohol should also be avoided. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use this medication due to the lack of established safety for the fetus or newborn. Elderly patients should be cautious as renal function decline may lead to increased drug concentrations, necessitating dosage adjustments due to the risk of side effects.
