This medication is used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. During treatment, there may be unusual symptoms in the nervous system, so patients and caregivers should pay attention to changes such as restlessness, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts. If any of these symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. This medication contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, so patients with phenylketonuria should avoid taking it. If it contains lactose, patients with lactose intolerance or related genetic disorders should not take this medication. This medication is not an emergency treatment for acute asthma attacks; separate emergency medications should be used during acute symptoms. Do not use this medication alone for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction; if necessary, continue to use an inhaled bronchodilator. Patients with an allergy to aspirin should not take this medication together with aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It can be safely used across various age groups from children to the elderly, but safety has not been established for children under 6 months.
