This medication contains aspartame, an artificial sweetener, which breaks down into phenylalanine in the body. Therefore, patients with phenylketonuria, a hereditary condition that requires dietary restriction of phenylalanine, should not take this medication. The daily limit for aspartame is restricted to less than 40 mg/kg, as recommended by WHO, allowing a maximum intake of up to 2.4 g per day for a 60 kg adult. Those who have allergic reactions to this medication or its components should avoid taking it. Patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers and children under the age of 2 should also not take this medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication after consulting with a doctor, as its safety has not been fully established. Breastfeeding women should also be cautious as it is unclear whether this medication passes into breast milk. If gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, heartburn, diarrhea, or hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, itching, rash, headache, tinnitus, or bronchospasm occur during treatment, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Additionally, rare cases of increased heart rate, hypertension, and severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis may occur, so caution is advised. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of certain oral antibiotics when taken together, so it is recommended to space doses at least 2 hours apart.
