This medication may rarely cause various side effects such as shock, rash, itching, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, urinary difficulties, hypotension, and nasal congestion; therefore, if any unusual symptoms occur, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is advised. Since drowsiness may occur during treatment, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating machinery, and to refrain from overdose or prolonged use. Combining this medication with other cold remedies, sedatives, or antihistamines can exacerbate side effects, so it is recommended not to combine them. Caution should also be exercised when taking it with alcohol or central nervous system depressants as drowsiness may become more pronounced. For pregnant or nursing women, due to the lack of established safety, this medication should only be used cautiously when absolutely necessary, and use during breastfeeding is not recommended. Special attention is needed for children, and it is safer not to administer this medication to children under 12 years of age. Elderly individuals may experience weakened bodily functions and should use this medication while closely monitoring their condition. In case of overdose, central nervous system abnormalities, seizures, and difficulty breathing may occur, so immediate emergency treatment such as inducing vomiting or gastric lavage should be obtained.
