Patients with kidney disease, heart failure, hypertension, or asthma require careful observation when using this medication; potential drug interactions should also be checked with a healthcare provider if they are taking other medications. Dizziness and drowsiness may occur while taking this medication, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. This medication can be harmful to the fetus, especially in late pregnancy, so women who are planning to become pregnant or who are in the early to mid-pregnancy should definitely consult a doctor before taking this medication. This medication can cause various side effects such as gastrointestinal adverse reactions, liver dysfunction, skin rashes, and blood disorders; if symptoms occur, prompt notification to medical personnel is required.
