Precautions

This medicine contains alpha-lipoic acid and thioctic acid salt, and should not be used by individuals allergic to this ingredient or other excipients. When taking this medicine, various side effects such as sensory disturbances, pain, headaches, constipation, abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, and cough may occur. Serious side effects such as kidney stones may rarely occur, so if any unusual symptoms arise, medical consultation should be sought immediately. This medicine is primarily used for patients with diabetic neuropathy, and it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption as it can interfere with the therapeutic effect. Taking this medicine with iron or magnesium preparations, or calcium-containing foods such as milk, may reduce its efficacy, so it is important to space the dosing times appropriately. Additionally, when taken with insulin or other diabetes medications, there is a risk of excessively low blood sugar levels, so blood glucose levels should be monitored frequently. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication cautiously after consulting a doctor, and it is not recommended for children under 18 as safety has not been established. In cases of overdose, serious toxicity symptoms may occur, necessitating immediate hospital treatment for appropriate care. This medicine should not be stored at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and must be kept out of reach of children. Transferring the medicine to another container is not conducive to maintaining quality, so it is advisable to keep it in its original packaging.
