This medication should not be used by individuals with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption as it contains lactose. While taking this medication, side effects such as diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue may occur, and serious adverse reactions like liver dysfunction and jaundice can rarely happen, so careful monitoring is required. If severe liver dysfunction symptoms are observed, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Various side effects, including rash, urticaria, edema, changes in blood counts, gastrointestinal symptoms, palpitations, dizziness, and headache, have been reported with this medication. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for a certain period, it is advisable to avoid long-term use. The effectiveness of this medication may decrease when taken with anticholinergics, so caution should be taken to adjust the dosing interval when using both together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider using this medication, and breastfeeding mothers are advised to either avoid taking the medication or discontinue breastfeeding. Safety for use in pediatric patients has not been established, therefore it is advisable not to use it in children. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney and liver function, so their condition should be closely monitored, and dosage should be reduced if necessary. The medication should be kept out of reach of children and precautions should be taken to avoid transferring it to another container, as this can lead to accidents or quality degradation.
