Precautions

This medication contains lactose, so it should not be used by patients with genetic disorders that cause lactase deficiency. Patients with thrombosis or consumptive coagulopathy, as well as those with severe problems in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood should use this medication cautiously. Patients with a history of drug allergies or previous allergic reactions should also exercise caution. This medication contains a dye called Yellow No. 4, and those who are allergic to this component should be careful. When taking this medication, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, decreased appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn, and abdominal pain may occur, so caution is warranted. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness or headaches may also occur. Skin rashes or itching may arise, so if any unusual symptoms appear, consultation with a physician is advised. Since liver function test results may increase, it is recommended to undergo regular liver function tests. Caution is advised when taken together with NSAIDs, as gastrointestinal-related side effects may occur more frequently. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only take this medication if necessary and under the judgment of a physician, as its safety has not been established. If symptoms do not improve after taking this medication for more than two weeks, it is advisable to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children. Transferring this medication to another container may degrade its quality, so it is safest to store it in the original container.
