Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or any of its components. In patients with issues such as gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation, this medication should not be administered as it may exacerbate the condition by stimulating gastrointestinal motility. This medication contains lactose; therefore, it should not be used in patients with genetic conditions that cause lactose intolerance. During the use of this medication, if allergic reactions or shock symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and inform healthcare personnel. As there may be issues with liver function, the medication should be discontinued if liver function tests show abnormalities. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased saliva may occur; consult a physician if symptoms are severe. Neurological symptoms such as headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may occur; caution is advised. Endocrine disorders such as gynecomastia or increased prolactin levels may arise, so inform healthcare personnel if symptoms occur. Regular blood tests are necessary as there may be decreases in platelet or white blood cell counts. Kidney function may temporarily deteriorate, so it is advisable to undergo kidney-related tests.

Extrapyramidal symptoms such as hand tremors may appear; consult a physician if abnormal symptoms occur. Chest or back pain and fatigue may occur; if symptoms are severe, please inform healthcare personnel. This drug enhances the action of acetylcholine, which should be considered during use, and it should not be taken for prolonged periods if gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve. Caution is necessary when taken with anticholinergics as this may reduce the effectiveness of this medication; adjust intervals between doses. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult their physician before using this drug, and breastfeeding should be avoided or breastfeeding should be stopped.
