This medication may cause adverse reactions in approximately 4% of patients. The most common adverse reactions are diarrhea or loose stools, dry mouth, and fatigue. Changes may also be observed in liver function test results in some patients, and liver enzyme levels may increase. Rarely, serious liver dysfunction or jaundice may occur; therefore, if any liver problems arise during the use of this medication, it should be discontinued immediately and a doctor should be consulted. Additionally, allergic reactions such as rashes or hives, changes in blood cell counts, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, and headaches may occur. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after a certain period of use, long-term use is not recommended. When taken with anticholinergic agents, the effect of this medication may be reduced, so caution should be taken regarding the dosing interval when using both drugs together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously, as its safety has not been established, and it should only be taken when necessary. During breastfeeding, this medication may be transmitted through breast milk; therefore, it is advisable to avoid use or, if unavoidable, to discontinue breastfeeding. Safety in pediatric patients has not been established, and there is no experience with its use in children, so it is not recommended for pediatric use. Elderly patients may have reduced kidney and liver function, so their condition should be carefully monitored while taking this medication, and appropriate action should be taken if adverse reactions occur, such as reducing the dosage. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container, as this could affect the quality. Animal studies have reported an increased incidence of tumors in the liver and thyroid with long-term high-dose administration, so prolonged high-dose use should be avoided.
