Precautions

This medication contains lactose; therefore, it should not be used in patients with a genetic disorder that prevents lactose digestion. While taking this medication, side effects such as diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue may occur, so caution is advised. Since liver function may be affected, if symptoms of hepatitis or jaundice appear, you should stop taking the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Rarely, symptoms such as rash, urticaria, blood abnormalities, gastrointestinal issues, and dizziness may occur, so it is important to monitor your condition closely. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than two weeks, it is advisable not to continue long-term use. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so it should be used cautiously with a proper interval between doses. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously; if breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid taking it or to stop breastfeeding if possible. Safety in pediatric populations has not been established, so it is preferable not to use it in children. Elderly patients should monitor their condition closely because kidney and liver function may decline, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers. In animal studies, long-term high-dose administration has been reported to potentially cause tumor formation, so appropriate dosages and durations should strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
