Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. In particular, it should not be administered to patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or its components, or who have a history of hypersensitivity to benzimidazoles. Additionally, patients currently taking certain medications such as atazanavir, nelfinavir, or rilpivirine should not use this medication concurrently. Various adverse reactions may occur when using this medication. For example, blood-related issues, gastrointestinal pain or diarrhea, respiratory issues, liver function abnormalities, allergic reactions, skin rashes, muscle pain, neurological symptoms, and mental health issues have been reported. Severe cases may result in anaphylactic shock or serious skin disorders, so caution is needed. Regular examinations are required when using this medication long-term. In particular, patients with compromised liver function should reduce the dosage and periodically check liver enzyme levels. Moreover, prolonged use may increase the risk of fractures and electrolyte imbalances such as hypomagnesemia, hence caution is necessary. Since this medication suppresses gastric acid secretion, there may be a slight increase in the risk of bacterial infections in the stomach. If diarrhea persists or worsens, medical consultation should be sought. Dizziness or blurred vision may occur, so caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, patients currently taking methotrexate, anticoagulants, or specific antiviral drugs should inform their healthcare provider.

It is also recommended that breastfeeding women do not use this medication.
