This medication should not be used in patients who have a history of allergic reactions to any of its components. Additionally, this medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic conditions such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur during treatment, so if any symptoms appear, patients should immediately stop taking the medication and consult healthcare professionals. Symptoms such as a decrease in white blood cells or platelets may rarely occur, so it is important to monitor health closely and consult a doctor if any abnormalities are noted. Liver function issues may arise; therefore, if jaundice or abnormal liver enzyme results are suspected, the medication should be stopped immediately and treatment sought. Hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, itching, and hives may occur, and if such symptoms develop, the medication should be discontinued. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and paralysis may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea may arise, and if symptoms are severe, patients should consult healthcare professionals. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication on a physician's advice, as its safety has not been fully established. Women who are breastfeeding are advised to avoid this medication, as it may be passed through breast milk. The safety of this medication in children, newborns, and low birth weight infants has not been fully established, so special caution is needed. Elderly patients may have weakened physical functions, so attention to side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms is crucial. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container may compromise its quality, so it is safest to store it in the original container.
