Additionally, there is not enough clinical experience with this medication in children and adolescents, so it is advisable not to administer it to them. During use, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occasionally occur, and allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, and itching may also arise.
