Those with hypersensitivity to this medication should not take it, and especially it is advisable to avoid use in children under 12 due to insufficient safety experience. Pregnant women should consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication as there is insufficient experience regarding its effects on the fetus. Individuals with allergies or hypersensitivity reactions to soy oil, beans, peanuts, etc. should also not take this medication. Patients with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulants, nursing women, and patients with lipid metabolism disorders such as hyperlipidemia or diabetic dyslipidemia should consult a physician or pharmacist before using this medication. This medication contains Yellow No. 5, and those allergic to this ingredient should exercise caution. If surgery is planned, or if symptoms do not improve or worsen after taking for more than three months, stop taking immediately and consult a professional. Additionally, when taking this medication, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and skin allergic reactions may occur rarely, so if any abnormal symptoms arise, stop taking and consult a doctor immediately. Patients at risk of lipid overload should regularly check blood lipid levels and adjust medication doses if necessary, considering any other medications containing lipid components being taken.
