Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had an allergic reaction to this medication or any of its components. It should also not be administered to patients with conditions where gastrointestinal motility stimulation may be harmful, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation. Since this medication contains lactose, it should not be used in patients with genetic disorders that affect the digestion of lactose. During the use of this medication, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur, so symptoms should be carefully monitored. There may be abnormalities in liver function, so if liver enzyme levels rise or jaundice symptoms appear, usage should be discontinued immediately and medical attention sought. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation may occur, so symptoms should be carefully observed. Nervous system symptoms such as headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may also occur, so caution is required. Gynecomastia symptoms or increased prolactin levels may occur, so if abnormal symptoms appear, usage should be discontinued and consultation sought. Blood abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia or leukopenia may occur, so regular blood tests are necessary. This medication may affect kidney function, so kidney function should be checked through blood tests. Skin reactions such as rash, redness, and itching may rarely occur, so if symptoms arise, usage should be stopped and consulting a doctor is advised. Extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors may also occur, so symptoms should be carefully monitored. Chest or back pain and fatigue may arise, so one should carefully observe their physical condition. This medication enhances the action of acetylcholine, so it should be used with this consideration. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve, it is advisable not to use it for an extended period. Caution is needed when taking with anticholinergic agents, as the effect of this medication may be diminished, so dosages should be adjusted accordingly. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously as its safety has not been established, and only when necessary. Breastfeeding women should avoid this medication if possible, as it may be excreted in breast milk, and if unavoidable, should stop breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been adequately confirmed, so caution is needed when administering. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to adverse reactions due to decreased bodily functions, so dosage should be adjusted while monitoring symptoms closely.
