Precautions

This medication may cause adverse reactions in about 4% of patients, primarily reported as diarrhea, loose stools, dry mouth, and fatigue.

Rarely, serious liver diseases such as fulminant hepatitis or jaundice may occur; if symptoms arise, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Allergic reactions such as rashes, urticaria, and edema may occur, so caution is needed if symptoms develop. Gastrointestinal abnormalities such as abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and taste disturbances have also been reported, so inform your healthcare provider if discomfort occurs. Symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, and headaches may also rarely occur, necessitating careful monitoring of one’s condition. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than 2 weeks, it's advisable to avoid long-term use. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so caution should be exercised regarding the timing of co-administration. This medication is not safe for use in pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, and benefits versus risks should be carefully considered. During breastfeeding, the medication may be transmitted through breast milk, so it is advisable to avoid use or discontinue breastfeeding if possible.
