When taking this medication, various side effects may occur. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, belching, and dry mouth. Systemic symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, lethargy, swelling, and fever. Hepatic dysfunction or jaundice, as well as serious liver damage, can also occur rarely, so caution is needed. Serious allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, may occur due to immune system adverse reactions; immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is required. Neurological and psychiatric symptoms reported include myalgia, arthralgia, headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, insomnia, depression, hallucinations, confusion, spatial disorientation, interstitial nephritis, pruritus, skin rash, hyperglycemia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, gynecomastia, hyperlipidemia, and hyponatremia. Long-term use of this medication requires regular check-ups. In particular, monitoring liver function and magnesium levels is important, as long-term use may affect vitamin B12 absorption.
