Individuals allergic to soybean oil, soy, peanuts, etc., should not take this medication. Individuals with bleeding disorders or taking medications that affect blood coagulation should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. Breastfeeding women should consult with a healthcare professional as there is insufficient information on whether this medication passes into breast milk. Patients with lipid metabolism issues or conditions such as hyperlipidemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, pancreatitis, etc., should use this medication cautiously.

If symptoms do not improve or worsen after taking the medication for more than 3 months, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Mild gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, and allergic skin reactions may occur while taking this medication; consult a doctor if any abnormal symptoms arise.
