This medication contains a component called α-lipoic acid and should not be administered to patients allergic to this component or other excipients. Additionally, it is not safe to use this medication in children and adolescents due to insufficient clinical experience in this age group. During use, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may rarely occur. Allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria, and itching of the skin may occur rarely, so if any unusual symptoms arise, consult a doctor immediately. This medication can lower blood sugar levels, potentially causing symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, sweating, headache, and visual disturbances, so diabetes patients should exercise caution. Taste disturbances have been reported rarely, and if discomfort persists after taking the medication, inform a healthcare professional. Individuals who frequently consume alcohol may have an increased risk of nerve damage, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption when taking this medication, as well as during breaks from it. This medication may decrease the effectiveness of the anticancer drug cisplatin, so caution is required to avoid taking them together. Taking this medication with preparations containing iron, magnesium, calcium, or foods with metal compounds like milk may reduce its effectiveness; therefore, dosing times should be adjusted accordingly. When taken with insulin or oral diabetic medications, the blood-sugar-lowering effect may be increased, so blood sugar levels should be monitored frequently, and the drug dosage adjusted if necessary. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should carefully consider the benefits and risks of this medication under a doctor's guidance. Overdose of this medication can lead to serious poisoning symptoms, so if suspected, seek appropriate medical treatment immediately.
