This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to certain components that may cause allergic reactions. It is safe not to administer to patients with end-stage renal disease or those undergoing hemodialysis. It should not be used in infants under 1 year of age, and in children under 6 years, it should be given in liquid form instead of tablet form. The liquid formulation contains maltitol, so it should not be administered to patients who are genetically unable to digest fructose. Patients with impaired kidney or liver function, as well as the elderly, should use it cautiously as blood drug levels may increase. Taking this medicine may cause various side effects such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain; thus, consultation with medical personnel should be sought immediately if abnormal symptoms occur. Drowsiness or fatigue may occur after taking, so extra caution should be taken when engaging in activities requiring concentration, such as driving or operating machinery. It is advisable to avoid taking this drug with alcohol or other medications that affect the central nervous system. It should be administered cautiously to patients at risk of urinary retention, and caution is also necessary for patients with epilepsy or a risk of seizures. The liquid formulation contains preservatives and sweeteners, which may cause allergic reactions or health effects, so this should be considered as well. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should carefully consider the potential effects on the fetus or baby before using this drug. Dosage adjustments and caution are required for children and the elderly, particularly starting at a lower dose for elderly patients with reduced kidney function. It may be helpful to temporarily discontinue this drug before an allergy test for accurate results. Overdose may result in symptoms such as drowsiness or anxiety, and since there is no specific antidote, treatment should be based on the symptoms. This drug cannot be effectively removed through hemodialysis, so caution is necessary in the event of an overdose.
