During this medication, side effects such as diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue may occur, so caution is necessary. If there are symptoms of hepatitis or jaundice, discontinue use immediately and visit a hospital, as liver function may be affected.

Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal bloating, nausea, and vomiting may occur, and if discomfort is severe, inform medical staff. This medication may cause neurological symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and headaches, so caution should be exercised. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than two weeks, it is advisable not to continue long-term use. This medication may reduce the efficacy of anticholinergics, so when using both, the dosing intervals need to be adjusted. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should be cautious as the safety of this medication has not been confirmed for them, and should only use it when necessary. In breastfeeding situations, this medication may be transmitted through breast milk, so it is advisable to avoid it if possible, or discontinue breastfeeding if it must be used. Caution is needed for children as safety has not been established and experience in usage is limited. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney and liver function, so their condition should be closely monitored during treatment, and the dose should be reduced if any abnormalities arise.
