Precautions

This medicine should not be used in patients who are allergic to this medicine or any of its components or who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions. It should also not be administered to patients with gastrointestinal problems such as gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical bowel obstruction, or perforation, as this medicine may stimulate gastrointestinal motility and worsen their condition. This medicine contains lactose, and it should not be used in patients with genetic metabolic disorders such as lactose intolerance, galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Serious allergic reactions, such as shock or anaphylaxis, may occur during the course of treatment; if any symptoms appear, the administration should be stopped immediately and medical personnel should be informed. Liver dysfunction or symptoms of jaundice may occur, so regular liver function tests should be conducted, and administration should be discontinued if abnormalities are found. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation may occur; if symptoms are severe, consultation with a doctor is recommended. Central nervous system symptoms such as headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may occur, so caution is necessary.

This medicine enhances the action of acetylcholine, so this should be considered during use, and if no improvement in digestive symptoms is observed, long-term use is not recommended. When taken with anticholinergics, the efficacy of this medicine may be reduced, so caution is needed regarding the timing of administration. The safety of this medication during pregnancy has not been established, and it should only be administered if the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks; during breastfeeding, it may be excreted in breast milk, so it's best to avoid administration or discontinue breastfeeding if possible. The safety of this medication in children has not been sufficiently established, so caution is advised.
