Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, and taste disturbances have also been reported, requiring caution. This medication contains lactose and should not be used in patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders. If symptoms do not improve after more than 2 weeks of use, prolonged use is not recommended.
