This medication should not be used in patients who have had an allergic reaction to any component of this medication. When taking this medication, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur, so if symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately and consultation with a healthcare professional should be sought. Additionally, this medication may rarely cause decreases in white blood cell and platelet counts, so it is important to periodically check the status through blood tests. Since liver function may be affected, if liver enzyme levels rise or jaundice symptoms appear, you should immediately discontinue the medication and seek medical attention. Skin hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, rash, or itching may occur, so if these symptoms arise, stop taking the medication and consult a specialist. This medication may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and numbness, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and taste disturbances. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should carefully consider the benefits and risks when using this medication, and nursing mothers should avoid breastfeeding as the drug may pass into breast milk. Safety for children, especially low-birth-weight infants or neonates, has not been sufficiently established, so use should be approached with caution. Elderly patients may experience decreased bodily functions, so they should pay closer attention to abnormal reactions such as gastrointestinal symptoms.
