Precautions

Some people may experience abnormal reactions such as diarrhea, loose stools, dry mouth, and lethargy while taking this medicine. If symptoms of hepatitis or jaundice occur, immediate discontinuation of the medication and a hospital visit are necessary. Allergic reactions such as skin rash, hives, and swelling may occur, so caution is advised if these symptoms arise. Increased eosinophils or decreased white blood cells have been reported in blood tests, and gastrointestinal symptoms may include abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and taste abnormalities. Neurological symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and headaches may also occur rarely, so if these symptoms persist, consult a doctor. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking this medicine for more than 2 weeks, long-term use should be avoided. Furthermore, the efficacy may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so it is best to separate the dosing schedule. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously, as its safety has not been established, and if breastfeeding, it should be avoided or lactation should be stopped due to the possibility of the drug passing into breast milk. Safety for children has not been confirmed due to lack of experience, so caution is needed. The elderly may have decreased kidney and liver function, so they should be closely monitored and doses reduced if necessary. The medication should be stored out of reach of children, and it is advisable not to transfer it to another container. Lastly, animal studies have shown an increased incidence of tumors with long-term high-dose administration, so use cautiously under medical guidance for prolonged periods.
