This medication should not be administered to patients who are allergic or hypersensitive to specific ingredients. It is particularly safe not to administer it to patients with significantly impaired kidney function or those undergoing hemodialysis.

This medication should not be used in infants under 1 year of age, and children under 6 years old should use a liquid formulation instead of tablets. Patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders are advised not to take this medication due to its lactose component. Patients with decreased kidney or liver function, as well as the elderly, should use this medication cautiously as it may increase the blood concentration. Drowsiness, headache, and dizziness may occur, so caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery. Co-administration with alcohol or other drugs that affect the central nervous system may exacerbate drowsiness, so it is advisable to avoid such combinations. Patients at risk of urinary retention should use this medication with caution. This medication may affect allergy tests, so it is advisable to discontinue use prior to allergy testing. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as drowsiness or anxiety may occur, and since there is no specific antidote, treatment should be symptomatic.
