If any abnormal symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and emergency treatment should be sought. Abnormal kidney or liver function and blood abnormalities have also been reported, necessitating regular check-ups, especially during prolonged use. This drug may interact with other medications, so if you are currently taking other drugs, it is essential to inform your physician or pharmacist.
