Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with narrowed gastrointestinal tracts. It can be harmful to patients whose gastrointestinal tracts are blocked or narrowed, preventing food from passing through well. This medication should also not be administered to patients with megacolon or reduced bowel function. Megacolon is an abnormal enlargement of the colon, and in cases of impaired bowel function, side effects may occur. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to this medication should not use it. Symptoms of allergy may include skin rash and itching, so caution is advised. This medication should not be used in patients with severely impaired liver function. If the liver is not functioning properly, drug metabolism may be difficult, increasing the risk of side effects. This medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion should not take it. Examples include galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with glaucoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia should be particularly cautious when using this medication. Although it does not have anticholinergic effects, symptoms may worsen in the presence of such conditions. Taking this medication may cause dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Additionally, if allergic symptoms such as skin itching or rash occur, the medication should be stopped immediately. Patients taking antihypertensive medications should be careful, as taking this medication in large amounts may lower blood pressure too much. Pregnant women should only take this medication under the supervision of a doctor in special circumstances. While animal studies did not show harm to the fetus, it is advisable to take it only when necessary for safety. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children.
