This medication contains lactose, so it should not be used in patients with genetic problems such as galactose intolerance, lactose enzyme deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. While taking this medication, side effects such as diarrhea, loose stools, dry mouth, and fatigue may occur. It may affect liver function, so if liver enzyme levels rise or symptoms of hepatitis occur, immediately stop taking the medication and visit a hospital. Additionally, various side effects such as allergic reactions like rash or urticaria, blood disorders, gastrointestinal symptoms, palpitations, dizziness, and headaches have been reported; therefore, consult a doctor if any abnormal symptoms occur. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking for more than 2 weeks, it is advisable not to continue long-term use. This medication may have reduced effectiveness when taken with anticholinergic drugs, so care should be taken and a sufficient interval should be maintained when using both medications together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider the benefits and risks of using this medication, and if breastfeeding, since the drug may be transmitted through breast milk, it is preferable to avoid use or discontinue breastfeeding. Safety for children has not been established, so it is not recommended for use in children. In elderly patients, renal and liver function may be impaired, so administration should be observed closely, and dosage should be adjusted if side effects occur. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children, and transferring it to another container may pose a risk of accidents and decrease quality, so caution is advised. Finally, animal experiments have reported an increased incidence of tumors in the liver and thyroid with long-term high-dose treatment; thus, careful monitoring is needed for long-term use.
