This medication should not be used by patients who are allergic to any of the components. It contains lactose; therefore, patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not use it either. Administer with caution in patients with a history of allergic reactions to the drug, decreased liver or kidney function, those undergoing dialysis, and the elderly. This drug can cause severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis; if there are symptoms like facial pallor, low blood pressure, reddening of the skin, or difficulty breathing during administration, immediately discontinue and receive appropriate treatment. Liver function may be affected, and frequent liver function tests should be conducted, with discontinuation if abnormalities are found. A decrease in blood cell counts such as agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia can occur. If symptoms like pharyngitis, lethargy, or fever arise, stop administration and consult a doctor. Severe side effects such as skin rashes, seizures, and heart rhythm abnormalities can rarely occur, so report unusual symptoms to a healthcare professional immediately. Gastrointestinal symptoms can include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, and loss of appetite. Central nervous system symptoms reported include headaches, insomnia, drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations, consciousness disturbance, and dizziness. Regular blood tests may reveal changes in white blood cell counts, elevated liver enzyme levels, and kidney function abnormalities. This drug is used for treating gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease; during treatment, malignant tumor symptoms may be masked. If symptoms such as weight loss, vomiting, or bleeding occur, be sure to undergo examinations. The elderly should be observed closely for ability to function due to decreased physical capabilities; dosing and intervals should be adjusted with care. For dialysis patients, drug concentrations in blood may increase, necessitating careful administration starting from lower doses. Pregnant women should only use it if the benefits outweigh the risks as deemed by a doctor; nursing women are advised against it as the drug may be excreted in breast milk. Safety in children has not been sufficiently established, thus caution is necessary in their use. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and in its original container to prevent misuse or degradation in quality. Lastly, although animal tests showed no carcinogenicity, hyperplasia of endocrine neurocytes and some toxic symptoms were observed at high doses, so it is important to adhere to recommended doses.
