This medication should not be administered to patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication or any of its components. It should also not be used in patients for whom gastrointestinal stimulation could be harmful, such as those with gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation. Severe allergic reactions like shock or anaphylaxis may occur during the use of this medication, so symptoms must be closely monitored. If there is a drop in blood pressure or difficulty breathing, and if skin rash or hives occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be administered. Due to the potential for liver function issues, liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT, γ-GTP, etc.) should be checked regularly, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be discontinued. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation may occur; if discomfort persists, consultation with a healthcare professional is advisable. Neurological symptoms such as headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may occur, so attention should be paid to these symptoms. Gynecomastia or elevated prolactin levels may occur, so if any abnormality is noticed, discontinuation of the medication is necessary. Platelet or white blood cell counts may decrease, so regular blood tests should be performed, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be stopped. Renal function may be affected, so BUN and creatinine levels should be monitored with caution. Adverse reactions related to elevated liver enzymes may also occur, necessitating regular liver function tests. Allergic reactions such as itching, rash, and redness may rarely occur; if such symptoms present themselves, medication should be discontinued. Symptoms of movement disorders such as tremors may occur, so attention should be paid to changes in symptoms. Chest or back pain and fatigue may occasionally occur, so if symptoms are severe, healthcare professionals should be informed. This medication enhances the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; this should be taken into consideration during use. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve, long-term use should be avoided. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics; therefore, dosing intervals should be adjusted or caution should be applied when used together. The safety during pregnancy has not been established, so it should only be used when necessary, and women of childbearing potential should be cautioned. During breastfeeding, this medication may be excreted in breast milk, so it should be avoided if possible, and if unavoidable, breastfeeding should be stopped. The safety in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution is needed in use. Elderly patients may have reduced physiological function, increasing the likelihood of adverse reactions; symptoms should be carefully monitored, and doses should be adjusted if necessary. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children, and transferring it to other containers should be avoided to maintain quality and prevent accidents.
