This medicine should not be used by individuals who are allergic to this medicine or its components, or by children under 18 years of age. Patients with moderately to severely impaired liver function, pregnant women, or those who might become pregnant, as well as elderly individuals should exercise increased caution when using this medicine. This medication can frequently cause symptoms such as insomnia, constipation, and drowsiness, so the patient's condition should be carefully monitored after administration. Liver function test results may rise, or jaundice symptoms may appear; if these symptoms occur, immediately stop taking the medicine and consult a doctor.

If the medicine is taken without any noticeable effect, care should be taken to not use it for an extended period of time. When taken with drugs that inhibit certain liver metabolic enzymes or with some sedatives, anxiolytics, etc., the side effects may be more severe, so it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist when taking this medicine with others. Pregnant women are advised not to take this drug, and nursing mothers should also avoid it as it can be passed through breast milk. In the case of children or the elderly, since the safety and efficacy of this medicine have not been sufficiently confirmed or bodily functions may be impaired, greater caution is necessary when administering it. In case of overdose, symptoms such as hallucinations, anxiety, severe drowsiness, and insomnia may occur; if such symptoms are present, stop taking the medicine immediately and seek appropriate treatment. This medicine must be stored in its original packaging, out of reach of children, and kept away from direct sunlight.
